Jack Carty Signs Two-Year Contract Extension With Connacht
Connacht Rugby have announced that out-half Jack Carty has signed a two-year contract extension with the province to take him up to the end of the 2020/21 season.
Jack Carty made his Connacht debut as an Academy player in September 2012 and has gone on to make 118 appearances for his home province. The Rocommon man has come through the underage structures in the province, representing Buccaneers and Marist College before joining the Connacht Academy.
At international level he has represented Ireland at Under-20 level and played in the 2012 World Rugby U-20 Championship.
The 26-year-old has been in excellent form so far this season, and in his twelve appearances in the GUINNESS PRO14, he has scored 109 points – the second highest in the Championship campaign to date.
Commenting on the signing, Connacht head coach Andy Friend said: “We are delighted to announce that Jack has signed a two-year contract extension to take him up to the end of the 2020/21 season. He is a product of the outstanding work being done at club and schools’ level throughout the province and within the Connacht Academy.
“Jack is an example of what our ‘Grassroots to Green Shirts’ vision represents. He will continue to be an important player for the province in the seasons ahead.”
Carty added: “I’m hugely proud that as a Connacht man I have come through the grassroots structures in the province and gone on to play professional rugby. I have a great support network in rugby and away from the game and I am very grateful for the guidance they show me.
“Connacht is an exciting place to be at the moment, both on and off the field, and we are extremely ambitious about what we can achieve in the coming seasons. I look forward to contributing to those plans.”
