Paul Boyle pens new deal to remain at Connacht

Connacht have confirmed a contract extension for Paul Boyle until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Boyle has made 84 appearances since his debut in January 2018 and has also captained the squad. The back-rower has chipped in with 20 tries so far.

In July 2021, the 25-year-old became an Irish international, coming off the bench against the USA in the summer internationals.

Commenting on Doyle getting an extra year with Connacht, head coach Pete Wilkins said: "Paul is an established and important member of our back row, and I'm delighted he is extending his contract at Connacht.

"We’ve seen him hit the heights of becoming an Irish international and I have no doubt he can get to that stage again. He’s a very popular member of the dressing room, providing on-field and off-field leadership.

"Paul’s continued great work in the community also demonstrates that he understands the broader values of the club and the impact we can all have across the province."
