Head headed for Ulster

Ulster Coach Mark McCall has filled the final contract in his squad with the sizable presence of Ballymena second row Henry Head.

The former England Schools international has been with the squad all summer.

McCall said: "What I was determined not to do was to bring in somebody ordinary. We have Ryan Caldwell, Stephen Ferris, Oisin Hennessey and Chris Henry who are all just off an Under 21 World Cup and the last thing we want to do is hinder their progress by bringing someone ordinary from overseas."
