Munster’s star playmaker ends contract speculation

NEWS: Jack Crowley’s Munster future is secure after the Ireland international put pen to paper on a new contract.

The flyhalf’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of the season and there had been fears that the No. 10 was potentially moving on.

Reports were rife that a blockbuster deal from Leicester Tigers was stoking the flames of the simmering contract saga, but now the matter has been put to bed.

On Wednesday Munster and the IRFU confirmed a two-year contract extension to keep him at the province until at least 2027.

Crowley has scored 305 points in 65 appearances for Munster since making his senior debut against Ulster in the 2020/21 season.

Crowley started his Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship campaign in the 2021/22 season.

The 2022/23 season was a special one for Crowley as he helped Munster to a URC title and made his Ireland debut.
