Sheehan ‘delighted’ to sign new deal with Leinster and Ireland
Dan Sheehan and Leinster Rugby Football Union have agreed to a two-year contract extension.
Since making his debut against Japan in 2021, the 25-year-old hooker has accrued 26 caps for Ireland and has won Six Nations titles in 2023 and 2024.
In the Champions Cup quarterfinals last weekend, he scored a try against La Rochelle, marking his 58th appearance for Leinster.
“I am delighted to commit my future to Leinster and continue my playing career in Ireland,” stated Sheehan.
Wearing the green of Ireland and the blue of Leinster means a great deal to me, and I want to express my gratitude to all of my coaches, teammates, and support personnel for creating such uplifting surroundings.
“It is a hugely exciting time to be playing rugby in Ireland and I believe the best is yet to come at club and international levels in the months and years to come.”
He was named the United Rugby Championship’s Players’ Player of the Season in 2022/23 before being selected to World Rugby’s Team of the Year for 2023.
