Toner signs new two year Leinster deal

Devin Toner has signed a new contract with the IRFU and Leinster that will keep him at the province until at least June 2017.

The 6’10” lock made his senior debut for Leinster in 2006 and has since played 157 times, winning three Heineken Cups, an Amlin Cup and three Pro12 league titles with the side.

Toner has made 20 appearances for Ireland since getting his first cap in 2010. He was part of the Ireland side that won the RBS Six Nations Championship in March this year and also featured in Ireland’s unbeaten November Test series.

28-year-old Toner said he is delighted to have re-committed to the province.

"It is great to have signed on for another two years with Leinster,” he said.

“I have been with the province for almost a decade and during that time the club have invested a lot in my development and have given me the platform to reach my potential and achieve success at both provincial and national level.”

Leinster CEO Mick Dawson also welcomed the new contract.

"We are delighted that Devin has signed an IRFU contract which keeps him at Leinster up to the end of the 2017 season,” Dawson said.

“Devin's skill, athleticism and leadership add greatly to our environment and he continues to grow and develop as a player who has a huge role to play at Leinster over the next few seasons.”
