Ulster Confirm Contract Extensions For Murphy, Burns And Moore

Billy Burns, Martin Moore and Jordi Murphy are the latest players to have signed contract extensions with Ulster Rugby.

Since joining up with Ulster, 27-year-old out-half Burns has consistently shown off his ability when it comes to dynamic play and a creative kicking game.

The play-making number 10 has signed a two-year extension with the province.

Similarly, tighthead prop Moore has become a mainstay of Ulster matchday squads since joining the province in 2018, because of his strong scrummaging ability and high work-rate.

The 30-year-old Dublin-born front rower has also penned a two-year extension, securing his services until at least the summer of 2024.

Meanwhile, back rower Murphy, who is also 30, has signed a one-year extension to remain at Kingspan Stadium.

A mobile ball carrier with an astute technical understanding of the game, he has become a leader within the squad, captaining Ulster on numerous occasions during the 2020/21 season.

Speaking about the latest contract news, head coach Dan McFarland said: “The news that Billy, Marty and Jordi see their futures as being with Ulster is a big boost for the squad, as all three players will continue to bring a wealth of experience and leadership to the group.

“I look forward to them playing an integral role in our ambitions to win silverware as a squad.”
