Ireland and Leinster fullback Hugo Keenan has signed his first central contract with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU).
The contract is a three-year deal, which will extend until the end of the 2025-26 season with a take home salary of around £400,000 per season.
Keenan, who is 26 years old, made his debut for Ireland in 2020 and has become a regular player, having started in 27 out of the last 29 matches.
He was named player of the match in this year’s Six Nations game against Wales and scored a try in the win against France.
Additionally, Keenan played the full 80 minutes in every game of Ireland’s Test series victory against the All Blacks in New Zealand last summer.
“I am delighted to be part of two very competitive and ambitious environments with Ireland and Leinster,” said Keenan, who has won two United Rugby Championship titles with Leinster.
“I am enjoying my rugby and looking to improve each week and there are so many opportunities to learn more about the game with the quality of coaches we have at provincial and national level.”
