Waterford's Jack O'Donoghue has signed a two-year contract extension with Munster.
The Back-row forward has made 130 appearances in red and won the Academy Player of the Year in 2015.
The recently turned 27-year-old became the first Waterford player to captain the province in the professional era when leading the side out against Cardiff Blues in February 2018. He has represented Ireland on two occasions.
Eight senior players have committed their futures to Munster Rugby.
Jack O'Donoghue, brothers Niall and Rory Scannell, Craig Casey, Shane Daly and Calvin Nash have all signed two-year extensions while Liam Coombes and Alex McHenry have put pen to paper on one-year deals.
Commenting on the first contract news of the season, Head Coach Johann van Graan said, “We are delighted to be in this position, confirming player contracts for the season ahead.
"The calibre of this initial player group is a huge positive with the province retaining the services of experienced, quality players while also securing the futures of up-and-coming talent.
"It’s further reward for the clubs, schools and volunteers that have invested time and effort into the development of these players."
