James Ryan has signed an IRFU contract extension until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Since making his Ireland debut against USA as a 20 year old in 2017, Ryan has earned 53 international caps.
With Leinster, Ryan has won the Heineken European Champions Cup in 2018 and has also won four league titles in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. He has made 71 appearances for Leinster, scoring four tries.
The second-row has captained Leinster Rugby in the two knockout European games against Ulster and Leicester Tigers since returning from international duty after the successful Six Nations Grand Slam campaign.
James Ryan commented: “The ambition of Leinster and Ireland to improve each day and win trophies is one of the reasons why it is so enjoyable to be part of these squads. There is also a great camaraderie and competitive edge in both squads. I have also been fortunate to captain my country over the past couple of seasons which has been an incredibly proud moment for me and my family.”
