Munster hooker Henry signs deal with Connacht
Munster hooker Sean Henry will be returning to his native Connacht after the current season after signing a two-year contract with the province.
The Sligo-born hooker has been with Munster Rugby for the last three years. Henry represented Connacht at Youths and U20 level before moving to Limerick.
His performance in the number two jersey earned him a place in the Munster Rugby Academy in 2010.
He has impressed at British and Irish Cup level and was the starting hooker in the 2010 Cup Final.
He was also a member of the squad that captured the British and Irish Cup title last season.
He earned his sixth cap for Munster during the 2013 opener earlier this month against Cardiff Blues.
The news comes a day after Connacht announced the return of former favourite Fionn Carr and CEO Tom Sears is delighted to see another player returning to the Sportsground.
"We are delighted to have been able to bring Sean back to his home province and have no doubt he will bring real quality to our squad and increase the competition for a place at hooker,” Sears said.
“He was very highly regarded at Munster and it is great news that he sees his future with Connacht."
