Ulster rugby have announced a squad of 41 for the 2020/21 season, including news of extensions for Jordi Murphy and Will Addison for the next two years.

Former Ireland out-half Ian Madigan has joined on a one year contract from Bristol Bears, while Kiwi scrum-half Alby Mathewson, formerly of Munster, has also penned a one year deal.

Jacob Stockdale, Sean Reidy and Matty Rea had already committed their futures to the province, while Stewart Moore, who has been with the Academy, has agreed a three year contract.

Ulster coach Dan McFarland said:

“Our desire to build on the successes of this season to-date is evidenced in our strong investment in talent from the current squad. Although it’s an uncertain time for rugby, and all sport, I am confident our selection will stand us in good stead for when we are able to safely start the new season.

“Once again, the chosen line-up of players shines a light on the indigenous talent nurtured through the Academy by Kieran Campbell and his staff – and the role which it, along with the province’s clubs and schools, continues to play in securing the future of Ulster Rugby.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the players who are moving on from the squad. This includes Clive Ross, who earned 73 caps since joining the province on a development contract in 2014, along with 21-capped Angus Kernohan, and Zack McCall.

“Looking to the future, we look forward to welcoming the new additions to the squad, who are set to bring their own unique skills and talent, as we move towards a time when the 2020/21 season can kick-off.”

Everyone’s in the Team Of Us.
