Hugo Keenan has signed a two-year contract extension with the IRFU and Leinster which will keep him with the province until at least the end of the 2027/28 season.

The 29-year-old spent the early part of this season on the sidelines due to hip surgery and a thumb injury but returned to action in March. Keenan made his Ireland debut in 2020 and has won 46 caps, scoring 13 tries. The fullback won a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2023 and the championship the following season along with six URC titles with Leinster. He was also part of last summer's Lions tour of Australia.
