Ulster Rugby: Ireland international Stuart McCloskey ‘delighted’ to continue Kingspan Stadium stay

Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey has signed a two-year contract extension with Ulster.

The 32-year-old, who has won 18 Test caps, debuted for his native province in February 2014 and has since amassed 190 appearances for the side.

An integral part of the set-up at Kingspan Stadium, he had been linked with a move to France last season but is now committed to Ulster until the summer of 2027.

“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract for the next two years,” he said.

“I feel like I’m playing the best rugby of my career, and I’m enjoying my role as one of the more experienced players in the team.”

In what figures to be a youthful squad guided by former Ireland Under-20s head coach Richie Murphy this season, McCloskey added that he is looking forward to lending his experience to younger team-mates.

“We have a squad packed with talent, and have a good blend between experience and youth. It’s exciting times around the place, and we have a core of young centres coming through that I’m excited to work with and help push them on.

“I’m really motivated and excited for the season ahead as we move forward.”
