LAST UPDATE | 5 May
IRELAND INTERNATIONAL FORWARD Ryan Baird has agreed a new contract with Leinster, the province announced on Sunday morning.
Leinster have also confirmed that Academy prop Jack Boyle has signed his first senior deal with the province.
Winger Tommy O’Brien has also signed a new contact.
Barid, 24, has been in Leinster’s senior squad since graduating from the Academy in the summer of 2020, and agreed his most recent contract extension in 2022.
As per usual in relation to contract news, Leinster did not release any details on the length of Baird’s new deal.
Baird played the full 80 minutes on Saturday as Leinster held on in a nervy finale for a 20-17 win against Northampton to book their place in the Champions Cup final.
The highly-rated Boyle has featured nine times in the URC this season, having made his Leinster debut against the Dragons in February of last year. The 21-year-old had recently been linked with both Ulster and Munster.
The loosehead was part of the Ireland U20s team that won a Grand Slam in 2020, having also played in the 2021 U20 Six Nations.
O’Brien, 25, has made 32 appearances for the province since debuting in 2019.
He’s featured six times in the URC this season and also played twice in the Champions Cup pool stages.
