Munster have confirmed six new contracts for next season, with Stephen Archer, Dan Goggin and Liam O'Connor among those to commit to the province.

The trio have all signed two-year extensions to remain at Thomond Park until the summer of 2020.

31-year-old Archer has played all but one game for Johann van Graan's side this season, and recently moved past 200 appearances for his home province, becoming the 11th player to join Munster's 200-club.

Last season's Young Player of the Year for the province Dan Goggin has also signed on for a further two seasons. The Young Munsters clubman has made himself a regular in the Munster matchday squad in the past two seasons, playing four of Munster's six Heineken Champions Cup pool games this campaign.

Loosehead prop is the third senior member of the squad to sign on until 2022, having enjoyed a consistent run of games in 2019, following a year out with a cruciate knee ligament injury.

The province have also confirmed three senior contracts for current members of their academy, with number 8 Jack O'Sullivan penning a three-year deal, just over a week after making his Heineken Champions Cup debut.

There are also one-year contracts for winger Liam Coombes and centre Alex McHenry.

Commenting on the contract news, Head Coach Johann van Graan said: "Getting these six contracts confirmed is really great news for the province. Stephen, Dan, both Liams, Jack and Alex are hugely talented players, and as a result of the work carried out at club and schools level, we get to reap the benefits every time they pull on a red jersey."
