The motivation that convinced Nick Timoney to sign new Ulster deal

Fringe Ireland international Nick Timoney has explained his decision to extend his Ulster deal rather than seek out a new adventure overseas. The 29-year-old back-rower generated interest abroad in his services for the 2025/26 season but has instead decided his future is best served by staying in Belfast until 2027 with a two-year contract extension.

Timoney was recently a member of Andy Farrell’s Autumn Nations Series squad but was unable to force his way into the Irish selection and is still without a Test cap since playing against Fiji in November 2022.

However, his international misfortune hasn’t affected his belief that Ulster can achieve under Richie Murphy, who succeeded Dan McFarland at the helm in early 2024. Timoney, the Dubliner who debuted for Ulster in 2017, said: “I’m delighted to sign a new deal.

“I feel very at home here and believe we have the squad to develop and become better in the years ahead. We have some young talent coming through that adds to our group of experienced players and that is something that both excites and motivates you for the seasons ahead.

“I have said I want to keep progressing as a player and I fully believe I can become the best I can be here at Ulster.”

Ulster general manager Bryn Cunningham added: “Agreeing terms with Nick before the Christmas period was a high priority for us, and we are delighted that he is fully invested in what we are trying to build here. Nick is one of the most well-rounded back row players in Europe and it has been no surprise to hear about interest in him from other big clubs.

“His journey from the academy, sevens, to playing for the A team and breaking into the senior side has been full of hard work and dedication, and that has helped him develop into the athlete we see today. He is someone that is a standard-setter to those around him and is a very popular member of the senior squad because of the attitude, commitment and leadership he puts in every week, and he will be a key part of this team’s future.”

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

For months, I had been diving deep into the world of cryptocurrency, excited by the opportunities and promises of financial freedom. Like many others, I had heard of people making life changing gains overnight, and I wanted my share of the success. Unfortunately, in my eagerness, I fell victim to a well disguised scam that drained my Ethereum ETH holdings. It started when I stumbled upon an investment platform that seemed too good to be true but in my greed and hope, I ignored the warning signs. The website had polished testimonials, a smooth interface, and a community that appeared legitimate. I transferred a significant amount of Ethereum, expecting high returns in a matter of weeks. Days turned into weeks, then months, and soon  I realized I had been scammed,I was devastated. That money was not just a financial asset; it was my hard earned savings, my dreams of financial security. I reached out to the so-called support team of the platform, but my emails went unanswered, and the website eventually vanished. I was left with nothing but regret.Just when I was about to give up, a friend told me about Washington Recovery Pro a specialized asset recovery service that had helped victims like me retrieve lost funds from fraudulent schemes. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to reach out. Their response was swift and professional. They assured me that while many scams are sophisticated, their team had the expertise to trace and recover stolen digital asset one day, I woke up to an email notification that your funds had been successfully recovered. I logged into my crypto wallet, and there it was my ETH, safely returned. I could hardly believe it.For anyone who has lost money in crypto scams, I say that there is still hope. Washington Recovery Pro proved that with the right team, justice can prevail.their handles.
