Gavin Coombes has signed a two-year contract extension with Munster that will keep him with the province until at least 2025.
Skibbereen man Coombes, 24, had a year left on his current deal but Reds chiefs were eager to tie him down to a longer deal. He is set to make his 50th appearance for the Reds against Leinster at Thomond Park on Saturday.
The talented no 8 - he was Munster’s youngest ever Player of the Year last season and made his senior Ireland debut last summer - has scored 21 tries in 49 appearances for the club since graduating from the academy to the senior squad in 2019.
