Munster centre Tom Farrell has agreed a two-year contract extension that keeps him with the province until 2028.

Munster and the IRFU have confirmed the deal with Farrell, who joined in 2024 from Connacht, where he had spent seven years.

The 32-year-old played in every competitive fixture for Munster during his first season, scoring 11 tries and winning the province's Player of the Year award as well as the URC Playmaker of the Year award.

Having missed the first two games of the URC campaign with injury, Farrell put in a player of the match performance in the win over Edinburgh in Cork, before scoring a crucial try against Leinster at Croke Park last weekend.

He has been called up to the Ireland squad for the upcoming November internationals.
