Eoghan Masterson Pens Two-Year Contract Extension With Connacht

Connacht Rugby have announced that back rower Eoghan Masterson has signed a two-year extension to his contract to take him up to the end of the 2019/20 season.

Commenting on the westerners’ latest player contract news, Connacht head coach Kieran Keane said: “We are delighted that Eoghan has committed to Connacht for another two seasons. Eoghan is a determined young man who has come through the Connacht Academy system and is now a natural leader among the group. I have no doubt he will continue to be an important player for us in the years ahead.”

Speaking about his contract extension, Masterson admitted: “I’m absolutely delighted to extend my contract with Connacht. I am very proud of my connections with the west of Ireland and very grateful to have come through the Academy system in Connacht.

“It was a massive honour to captain the province on a number of occasions this season and I’m determined to be part of further success here at the Sportsground in the coming seasons.”
