Speculation over the future of Ireland Rugby Captain Peter O'Mahony has been quenched with the Cork native putting pen to paper on a one-year contract extension with Munster.

To date, the Cork Constitution man has made 291 professional rugby appearances which includes 182 for Munster, 105 for Ireland and 4 for the British & Irish Lions, the latter of which saw O’Mahony receive a Lions cap when he led the side in the first Test against the All Blacks in June 2017.

The 34-year-old has won two league titles with Munster and five 6 Nations titles with Ireland, captaining Munster and Ireland to URC and Six Nations championships in the past 12 months.

He won his first league title with Munster in 2011 and in 2012 made his Ireland debut along with winning Munster’s Young Player of the Year award.

He won Munster’s Player of the Year award in 2019 and so far this season, has made five appearances for Munster and 11 appearances for Ireland.
