Fogarty to sign for Leinster

Leinster have made a pre-contract agreement for hooker John Fogarty to move from Connacht in the summer.

Fogarty has spent the last five seasons at Connacht since joining from Munster. It could be viewed as another blow to the ambitions of Leinster's Brian Blaney.

"John has been a great player for Connacht over the past few years and we would like to wish him the best in his career with Leinster," said Connacht Chief Executive Gerry Kelly.
