IAIN HENDERSON HAS signed a two-year extension to his IRFU central contract which will see him remain with Ulster until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The lock’s future had been the source of recent speculation but Ulster skipper Henderson, 31, will both remain with his native province and remain available for Ireland for the next two seasons.
Henderson, who is part of Andy Farrell’s leadership group, earned the first of his 72 Ireland caps against South Africa in 2012 and has been a part of four Six Nations-winning campaigns.
The Craigavon man has made 139 appearances for Ulster since his first provincial cap, which also came in 2012.
“I am delighted to sign with the IRFU and Ulster for another two seasons and look forward to continuing my journey in Ireland,” Henderson said. “It is an incredible honour pulling on my provincial and international colours and I believe that there is more to come as we look to build in the months ahead.”
IRFU performance director David Nucifora added: “Iain has developed into an important leader within both the Ireland and Ulster environments and we are delighted to have ensured that he continues his career in Ireland. I have no doubt that he will continue to add positively to both environments in the months and years to come.”
This is a brilliant camogie match
Well my issue is the Cork goal was a free out ,she threw it into the net ,attempted to strike but missed and the ball ended up in the net from her hand …
@Gerry Campbell: really difficult to see in real time.
@WqM9AAv3: True ,I’m just thick now ,I’ll be grand in a bit .
@Gerry Campbell: You’d be entitled to be a bit upset if you’re a Galway man, big disappointments this year.
@Michael Burke: Ah I’m over it Michael ,small stuff in fairness with all that’s going on in the world ..
Comments closed due to not being allowed to say anything critical about Israel. Thank you The Journal
@Stanley darsh: Whydo Irish people only care about Israel? Ye stay silent about all the other atrocities happening but are constantly talking about Israel?
@Stanley darsh: the hamas fellas were hiding in the school, always using the people as a shield. The people were also well aware hamas were around.
@tbEE5DMm: yeah it’s not fair that Gaza is the only genocide getting attention. Why isn’t anyone paying attention to other massacres around the world. I guess it’s the Anti Semitism which is on the rise all over the world for some reason.
@Sean Money: Yeah also Hamas forced the Israeli soldiers to R*** the Palestinian Prisoners is the Israeli jails.
@Sean Money: Hamas also made the Israeli soldiers commit a Seckual a$sault against the Palestinian prisoners.
@tbEE5DMm: unfortunately Tom the tv told them to
@tbEE5DMm: why does Tom Walsh only care about all the other atrocities and not Israel’s one
@anthony davoren: I care about all of them
@tbEE5DMm: who cares about Palestine or Israel. doesn’t affect us one bit. no respect for armchair humanitarian. if you really care, go out there and support them.
@Sean Money: How do you know that the people were aware that Hamas were amongst them? You’re inferring that the victims are in some way responsible for being slaughtered. Given that Gaza has been flattened, that huge numbers of Palestinians have been forcibly removed from their homes and that there are so many no go areas for the Palestinian population what exactly do you suggest that those innocent victims should have done?
Well done Cork banks of the lee
