Iain Henderson has joined Peter O’Mahony in today singing a new three-year deal with the IRFU.
The Ulster and Ireland forward today signed a deal that will keep him at Ulster until 2018 at least.
Henderson, 22, has chalked up 41 appearances for Ulster already in his career, as well as 14 caps for Ireland since his 2012 debut.
“I am delighted to have signed for another three seasons and I am aiming to be an integral part of the team going forward,” Henderson said.
“As a proud Ulsterman it remains a massive honour to play for Ulster Rugby. By signing a new contract, it allows me to focus on achieving my personal goals alongside the ambitions here at Kingspan Stadium. I am very much looking forward to the next three years.”
Ulster Rugby’s Team Manager, Bryn Cunningham said Ulster seeks “to build a team around a core group of highly talented, homegrown Ulster players,” and Henderson’s new deal was key to that goal as “retaining the services of someone like Iain was hugely important to us.”
“Iain is without doubt one of the most exciting young players in European Rugby,” Cuningham said.
Cunningham said “there were other leading European clubs extremely keen to sign him, therefore I am delighted that he has committed to his home province for a further three seasons.”
