Ulster: Aidan Morgan ‘picking the brains’ of head coach Richie Murphy

Morgan is Irish-qualified through his Belfast-born grandfather, who moved to New Zealand when he was 17.

“It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for my family,” he said. “They’re pretty excited to get over to Belfast and watch me play.

“It [his family history] came into consideration but for me it was more about representing Ulster and trying to grow my game and hopefully benefit this team and this club.”

The number 10 describes his game as “pretty attacking, someone who plays flat and fast”.

“I like to use my feet and hopefully try and take on defences, use my speed and use my short passing game and offloads and things like that.

“I’ve been trying to find my feet in the system, the way that Ulster want to play and how I can benefit that. A super-exciting squad with a lot of potential so hopefully we can grow and achieve something special together.”

Asked about the prospect of potentially playing for Ireland in future, Morgan is circumspect.

“I haven’t looked too far forward. I’m just trying to put my best foot forward for Ulster, that’s all I’m concentrating on at the moment.”
