21-year-old Arnold, who trained with Ireland earlier this week, moved to the southern province from Ulster in 2016, but had to persevere through injury before impressing on a regular basis in the centre this past year.
Openside Oliver, 22, and centre Goggin, 23, have earned their first senior professional deals. Oliver excelled in the December inter-pro window, hitting the ground running after a long lay-off with a shoulder injury.
