We are delighted to learn that Connacht Rugby have signed Lansdowne prop Greg McGrath to their professional squad. Announced earlier today (Thursday), head Coach Andy Friend said “We’re really pleased to welcome Greg to Connacht Rugby. He will give us the added depth that we need at tighthead but his ability to play at loose is another boost too. He’s very highly regarded on the club scene and has made a good impression during his time at Leinster, so we’re looking forward to his arrival.”

Greg appeared 3 times for Leinster this season, following caps with Ireland U20s and of course was an integral part of the Lansdowne AIL set up. Greg joins fellow Lansdowne players Tom Daly, Tom Farrell, Oisin Dowling, Peter Sullivan and Matt Healy.
