D'Arcy signs new two-year Leinster contract


Gordon D'Arcy has extended his Leinster and Ireland contract.

The centre's new contract will see him remain in Ireland to play with Leinster for a further two seasons until 2014.

IRFU Chief Executive Philip Browne said: "Gordon is a wonderful servant for both Ireland and Leinster and this is proof of his undoubted talent that was indentified at a very early age.

"I am delighted that he has committed himself to playing in Ireland and is another indicator of the successful policy of keeping as many of our top players here so that they can continue to contribute to the success of both Ireland and the provincial teams.

Leinster Coach Joe Schmidt said: "Gordon is a born and bred Leinster man and since his debut in 1998 he has been a highly consistent performer for Leinster. His competitiveness and ability have had added huge value both on and off the field.

"We're delighted that Gordon will be extending his long association with his home province and I am confident that he will continue to make a positive impression both on and off the field."
