“It’s great to be welcoming Zac into the squad, as we ramp up preparations for the new season,” said Bryn Cunningham, Ulster Rugby’s Head of Rugby Operations and Recruitment.
“Zac is coming off the back of a successful period playing with the national Sevens set-up, and we feel this is a good opportunity for him to bring his skills and qualities into the group in the weeks ahead.”
