ALEX KENDELLEN HAS signed a two-year contract extension with Munster.
The 23-year-old will remain with the province until 2027 having become a cornerstone of the side since emerging from the academy in 2021.
As well as captaining Ireland U20s for the Six Nations in the same year, he was skipper of the Emerging Ireland side in 2024 and for Munster in the win over Crusaders at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in February last year.
Kendellen made 22 appearances as Munster lifted the URC title in 2022/23 and played all 25 games last season.
Meanwhile lock Evan O’Connell and back-rower Ruadhán Quinn have both signed their first senior deals with the province.
Both players have agreed two-year deals, the first of which will be development contracts before progressing to senior for 2026/27.
Kendellen joins Tom Ahern, Gavin Coombes, Shane Daly and Alex Nankivell in signing two-year contract extensions ahead of next season, while O’Connell and Quinn join Shay McCarthy in moving up from the Academy to the senior squad.

What with all these beards everywhere???….don’t their women complain that it tickles too much ???….
What is the 42s facination with such a tiny minority sport as UFC and yet horse racing which is so popular and we lead the world in get a mention once in a blue moon.
Thats it, nobody gives a flying fart about something as boring as horse racing. MMA on the other hand is the one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
You might want to ask yourself the question of whether your liking for horse racing qualifies you to take a dump on ufc (which is not a sport btw kinda showing your ignorance there)? Or put another way, fair enough you want more horse racing but why are you criticising a sport you clearly know nothing about?
Horse racing may be a more popular sport in Ireland however a lot of that is from the older generations who tend not to be on this site. Ufc on the other hand is a hugely growing sport and is massive among the younger generations, this websites prime demographic
