John Andrew, Callum Reid and Aaron Sexton are the latest players to sign new two-year deals with Ulster Rugby.



“John, Callum and Aaron are homegrown players who will all continue to play an important role in our ambitions as a squad,” said Ulster Head Coach Dan McFarland.



“With John’s experience, he is a player who can be relied upon to bring physicality at key moments in games. Callum and Aaron are young men who have shown a determination to keep progressing in their careers, with many more caps set to come their way.”

The experienced Andrew has played over 100 games for the province and the Ballymena-born hooker’s deal will run until at least July 2025.

Callum Reid is a product of the Ulster Rugby Academy, and the 24-year-old made his first senior start against Zebre Parma earlier this season.

Lightning fast 22-year-old Aaron Sexton has also put pen to paper to sign a two-year deal. Sexton remains an exciting option in McFarland’s squad at wing or full back.
