“I am proud of the journey I have taken through the grassroots game in Connacht and on to play for the senior team. We have developed a really positive culture in Connacht and as a club there is a huge determination to build on the season we have just had.”
After a resurgent campaign under Andy Friend, Connacht will return to Champions Cup competition next season and will hope to build on their push to the Pro14 play-offs.
“(McKeon) has been a hugely important player for us in the season gone by,” says Friend, “and will be a central figure again next season in our Pro14 and Champions Cup campaigns as a senior member of our squad.”
