Munster's Ronan Foxe has signed a two-year senior contract with the province. 

Prop Foxe has made eight senior appearances for the province since joining the academy in 2023.

Foxe helped the Ireland under-20s reach the final of theWorld Championship that year after coming up through the ranks at Midland Warriors RFC and Tullamore RFC.

The 23-year-old made his AIL debut for Old Belvedere as a 19-year-old and made 14 AIL appearances with the club before moving to Munster and Garryowen in October 2023.

Foxe made two appearances for Munster against Bath and Gloucester in pre-season ahead of the 2024/25 campaign after recovering from a long-term injury.

He toured South Africa with Emerging Ireland before making his Munster debut away to the Sharks in Durban in October 2024.

His Garryowen debut was in December 2024, and he ended the campaign with three senior appearances for Munster, two appearances apiece for Emerging Ireland and Munster A and six appearances with Garryowen in the AIL.

This season has seen Foxe make five senior appearances for his province, including his first start against Argentina XV. 

He is the third player from the current academy group to be promoted to the senior squad for next season, following the senior contract announcements for Seán Edogbo and Ben O’Connor.
