Andrew Porter has signed a new two-year deal with the IRFU.
Porter, who started all 11 of Ireland’s Tests in 2024, has established himself as an integral member of Andy Farrell’s squad as well as Leo Cullen’s Leinster side.
It is another massive boost for Irish rugby after it was announced this morning that Tadhg Furlong has also signed a two-year contract extension, after being linked to Bayonne in France.
Porter made his Test debut against USA in 2017 and has gone on to earn 70 caps in green, winning three Six Nations titles and featuring at the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups.
The 28-yer-old has played 128 times for Leinster since making his senior debut for the province in September 2016, winning four Pro12/Pro14 titles and the European Champions Cup, while scoring 18 tries.
“Playing in Ireland is something that I never take for granted and I am delighted to commit my future to my home province Leinster and Ireland,” Porter said.
“There is a huge amount of talent coming through the system at provincial and international levels and it is a privilege to work with such a talented group of coaches and players. I believe that the level of competition will drive us all on as we bid for success in the months and years to come and I am proud that I will have the chance to be a play in the Irish system for the next number of seasons.”
