Ulster sign Munster flyhalf Jake Flannery

Ulster have confirmed that they have signed Munster flyhalf Jake Flannery, a move flagged by the Irish media earlier in the week.

Flannery was a standout performer for the Grand Slam-winning Ireland U20s in 2019. He has signed one-year deal with Ulster.

“I’m excited to be joining Ulster Rugby. They’ve got a really exciting back line and play a style which I feel I can excel in. I leave Munster grateful for all the people who have helped me develop and grow,” said Flannery. “I have high ambitions and I think Ulster Rugby will help me to strive for these.”

The Tipperary-born ten began his rugby career at Kilfeacle & District RFC, then played schools rugby at Rockwell College before making his Munster A debut in the Celtic Cup and All Ireland League debut with Shannon RFC in the 2018/19 season.

In the summer of 2019, he was accepted into the Munster Academy, and in February 2020, he made his Guinness PRO14 debut off the bench for Munster against Zebre.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Jake to Ulster. He is coming with good intent to work hard on developing all areas of his game with our coaching team and his fellow players,” said head coach Dan McFarland.
