Stuart McCloskey Signs Two-Year Extension with Ulster

Stuart McCloskey has signed a two-year contract extension with Ulster Rugby, committing his future to the province until at least 2027. The 32-year-old centre, who is approaching his 200th appearance for Ulster, has been a key player for the team and a member of the Ireland squad that won back-to-back Six Nations Championships in 2023 and 2024. McCloskey expressed excitement about his role as a leader within a youthful squad and is motivated for the upcoming season. Ulster's Head of Recruitment, Bryn Cunningham, praised McCloskey for his experience and leadership, especially among younger players. This announcement follows speculation about potential moves to French clubs, which has now been put to rest. McCloskey aims to help develop younger talent as the team progresses.
