Cormac Izuchukwu has signed a new contract with Ulster until the end of the 2023 season.
The Ireland Sevens international made his senior debut off the bench in the northern province’s away victory over Glasgow Warriors in February.
Head-coach Dan McFarland says he’s been impressed by the Offaly youngster’s “rapid development” since arriving in Belfast last year.
Meanwhile, Dan Leavy has become the latest Leinster player to sign a new contract with the Guinness PRO14 champions.
The Grand Slam winning Ireland back-row is currently recovering from knee surgery and won't feature again this season.
26-year Leavy was also sidelined for over a year following an A-C-L tear in 2019.
