Both players were members of the Ireland U20 side which won the U20 Six Nations Grand Slam under Head Coach, Richie Murphy, in 2022.
Postlethwaite said: “I’m very pleased to sign with Ulster Rugby for the future. I’m really enjoying playing in this team and feel we are starting to show signs of a really exciting team going forward. It’s something that I’m excited to be a part of and there is strong competition in the squad, which will only make me a better player.”
Wilson said: “It’s always a huge honour to pull on the Ulster jersey, and I’m absolutely delighted to commit my future here for the next few years. Ulster is a special club with incredible supporters, and I’m excited to keep developing my game under the coaching team. I want to continue pushing for selection, challenge myself to improve in every area, and contribute as much as I can to the team’s success.”
Ulster head coach Richie Murphy, said: “Jude is an exciting young centre with plenty of potential and room for growth. His ability to play both 12 and 13 showcases his versatility. He is a very strong, athletic ball carrier with a good offloading game, making him one to keep an eye on going forward.
“Scottie is a dynamic young prop and with time and application, can develop into a top-class tighthead prop. He has great ball carrying skills and the ability to do things other props struggle to do.”
