Three Ulster youngsters commit future to club

Jacob Stockdale, Ross Kane and Rob Lyttle have all committed their futures to Ulster.  

Stockdale has enjoyed a fine season to date with the senior squad, scoring 8 tries in his 14 competitive appearances, which includes 7 starts. The versatile back turned 21 earlier this week and is a former Irish U20 international. 

Kane and Lyttle are currently members of the Academy, have been rewarded for their excellent development this season with a place on the senior squad. They have already made significant contributions to Les Kiss' squad, having made 11 and 8 appearances respectively. 

Les Kiss was understandably delighted to retain the services of the three players:

"Jacob, Ross and Rob are outstanding talents who, even at a young age, have demonstrated their qualities for our senior team.

"In addition to having the physical attributes to be top class players, they also possess a positive mental aptitude and a strong understanding of the game. Their development has really accelerated under Kieran Campbell and Willie Anderson in the Academy and they have shown great appetite to continue that with the senior squad.
