Conor Ryan has signed a two-year contract extension with Munster which will keep him at the province until at least 2028.

The 22-year-old second row is the latest Munster player to take the less trodden path to professional rugby. He came up the ranks at Clonakilty RFC and currently plays in the AIL for UCC.
