Paddy Jackson commits to Ulster

Ulster Rugby have announced that Paddy Jackson has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Kingspan Stadium until at least the summer of 2019.

"To have Paddy commit to Ulster for a further two seasons is a huge boost," said Director of Rugby, Les Kiss.

"His form over the past few years has been widely acknowledged and it was no surprise that there was a lot of interest in him from other big European clubs..."

Jackson made his Ulster debut back in February 2011 against Scarlets and has gone on to amass 831 points in 118 matches.

He has played a total of 22 times for Ireland since his debut against Scotland in 2013.
