Shane Daly Signs Two-Year Contract Extension With Munster
Munster Rugby and the IRFU are pleased to announce a two-year contract extension for Shane Daly.
Daly scored a wonder try from 60 metres against Stade Francais on Saturday to mark his 100th Munster appearance with his 25th try for the province.
The 27-year-old came up through the ranks at Highfield and PBC before joining the Munster Rugby Academy in 2016.
He won a number of honours with Cork Constitution and lined out for the Ireland U20s and the Ireland 7s team before making his Munster debut against Cheetahs in September 2018.
The versatile back, who can play on the wing, at full-back and in midfield, earned two Ireland caps in 2020 and 2021.
Daly played the most minutes for Munster in 2022/23, also lining out for Emerging Ireland and Ireland A in 2022.
He racked up an impressive 1,800 minutes on the field in 24 appearances (23 starts) as Munster won the URC title along with his three appearances for Emerging Ireland and one for Ireland A.
Daly carried his brilliant form into the 2023/24 season and won the URC Ironman for the most minutes played in the 2023/24 season.
He missed just 10 minutes of Munster’s 20 URC games. The only two games he missed during the campaign were in the Champions Cup due to knocks.
So far this season, Daly has scored three tries in five appearances despite missing a number of games due to injury.
A two-year contract extension was announced for Alex Nankivell last week with Stephen Archer signing an extension until the end of the season. There will be more good news on the contract front later today.
