Sean Reidy Signs New Ulster Rugby Extension
Ulster Rugby player Sean Reidy has agreed a new contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2020.
The 27-year-old, who is from New Zealand, has been with the club since 2014. He is Irish-qualified through his grandmother and made his international debut for Ireland during their summer tour of South Africa earlier this year.
Commenting on the new deal, Reidy said: "I'm really happy to be sticking around. I've enjoyed the past two and a half years a lot and my partner and I really love the place."
Ulster Rugby Head Coach, Les Kiss, added: "It's brilliant that Sean has committed to us until 2020; it's another good bit of business by our Operations Director, Bryn Cunningham.
"Sean has worked hard since his arrival at Ulster and his game has developed very well as a result of that. During the summer, I was delighted that his hard work was rewarded with a first international cap.
"His defence and breakdown work has been very impressive in the early stages of the season and that has had a big impact for us. I am really enthusiastic about what Sean can deliver for us over the next few years."
