Billy Burns joins Munster as duo extend contracts

John Ryan and Cian Hurley have committed to the province.

BILLY BURNS will join Munster next season, the province have confirmed.

The 29-year-old has spent the past six seasons with Ulster and joins their rivals in the summer on a one-year contract.

Burns has made over 100 appearances for Ulster since signing from Gloucester in 2018 and has won seven Ireland caps since making his debut in 2020.

The out-half was born in Bath but qualifies to represent Ireland through his grandfather.

Meanwhile, John Ryan has signed a one-year contract extension.

The 35-year-old has made over 200 Munster appearances since his debut in 2011.

He also has 24 Ireland caps and picked up a URC winners medal with the province last season.

In addition, Cian Hurley has signed a one-year contract extension, after graduating from the Academy to the senior squad last summer.

The 23-year-old, who can play in the second row and back row, has five senior appearances to date, having recently returned from an Achilles/ankle injury.
