Conor Murray has signed a one-year contract extension to stay with Munster until the summer of 2025, ending speculation about his playing future beyond this season.

The 34-year-old Ireland scrum-half’s central IRFU contract is in its final months, potentially leaving the Test centurion and three-time British & Irish Lions tourists in limbo beyond the current campaign yet Wednesday’s joint announcement from the URC champions and the governing body brings certainty to Murray’s situation.
