Masterson signs new Connacht deal

EOGHAN MASTERSON has signed a two-year extension to his contract with Connacht.

The 24-year-old has made almost 60 appearances for the province, including 22 this season, and also captained them for the first time in the Challenge Cup clash at home to Worcester Warriors earlier in October.

“We are delighted that Eoghan has committed to Connacht for another two seasons,” head coach Kieran Keane said.

“Eoghan is a determined young man who has come through the Connacht Academy system and is now a natural leader among the group. I have no doubt he will continue to be an important player for us in the years ahead.”
