Rob Kearney has commited his future to Leinster with a new three year contract which will keep him in the province until he is 31.
The Louth native says that he’s delighted to have extended his contract and is looking forward to continued success with his team of almost ten years.
“I am happy to have signed a new contract that will keep me at Leinster for another three years,” he explained.
“ I made my debut for Leinster almost 10 years ago and it is a great honour to be in a position to extend my contract and hopefully play a part in future success at both provincial and national level.”
The IRFU and Leinster announced this morning that the new deal will keep Kearney at Leinster until at least June 2018.
Having made his competitive senior debut for Leinster against the Ospreys in September 2005 the powerful full-back has since made 155 appearances for Leinster scoring 38 tries and winning three Heineken Cups.
The IRFU say that they will be funding the new contract, while Leinster CEO Mick Dawson added;
“Rob is a senior international with a proven pedigree and a key voice within our environment. Keeping our stars at Leinster will ensure that we continue to compete for silverware in our domestic competition and in Europe.”
