Inspirational skipper John Muldoon agrees new deal at Connacht

Connacht captain John Muldoon has penned a new contract that will keep him at the province for the 2016/17 season.

The three-times capped blindside flanker is in his 13th professional season at the province. and has played in 11 of their 15 games this season. His last Ireland cap came against New Zealand in June 2010, though he also featured in the Ireland XV’s non-cap international against Fiji in 2012.

“I’m definitely the old man in the squad now that Swifty (Michael Swift) is gone but I don’t feel it. Playing and training with these younger lads just drives me on even further and I’m really enjoying what we’re doing as a squad,” said Muldoon yesterday.
