Munster out-half Jake Flannery is moving to Ulster in the summer on a one year deal.
Flannery, 22, has only played five times for the Reds since his debut in February 2020.
The Tipperary man has struggled for game time with Joey Carbery, Ben Healy and Jack Crowley ahead of the 6ft out-half in the pecking order.
Flannery has a strong pedigree after producing a string of strong performances as the no 10 in the Ireland under-20s 2019 Grand Slam winning team.
Having started his rugby career in the club game at Kilfeacle & District RFC, Flannery went on to play schools rugby at Rockwell College, and made his Munster A debut in the Celtic Cup and All Ireland League debut with Shannon RFC in the 2018/19 season.
A place in the Munster Academy followed in the summer of 2019.
“I’m excited to be joining Ulster Rugby," said Flannery.
"They’ve got a really exciting back line and play a style which I feel I can excel in.
"I leave Munster grateful for all the people who have helped me develop and grow.
“I have high ambitions and I think Ulster Rugby will help me to strive for these.”
Ulster head coach Dan McFarland reacted: “We are looking forward to welcoming Jake to Ulster.
"He is coming with good intent to work hard on developing all areas of his game with our coaching team and his fellow players.”
