Leinster star Hugo Keenan has signed his first central contract with the IRFU that will see him play his rugby in Ireland until the end of the 2025/2026 season.
Keenan made his debut for Ireland against Italy in October 2020 and has since gone on to become a key man for Andy Farrell, starting 27 of Ireland's last 29 Test matches.
In that period he has scored eight tries, the most recent of which came against France last weekend in Ireland's 32-19 win over the reigning Grand Slam champions.
