JACK O’SULLIVAN will depart Munster this summer, it has been confirmed.
The 25-year-old, who scored six tries in 35 appearances since making his debut, will depart for what the province describe as “a new playing opportunity in Japan”.
A Munster Schools Senior Cup winner with Presentation Brothers College, O’Sullivan joined his home province’s academy ahead of the 2017/18 season.
The former Ireland underage international made his Champions Cup debut as an Academy player against Ospreys at Thomond Park in January 2020.
The back-row forward subsequently joined the senior squad on a three-year contract, helping them win helping Munster win the URC title last season.
“Our thanks to Jack for his contribution to Munster Rugby & we wish him the very best with his move to Japan,” a statement added.
Best of luck Jack.
@Steve Mccarthy: Injuries didn’t do him any favours especially with the back row competition at Munster being so strong. Looking to next season we have POM, Coombes, Hodnett, O’Donoghue, Kendellan, Ahern all experienced players vying for back row inclusion. On top of that there are quality young guy in Quinn and Gleeson who’ll be challenging also.
