"I am delighted to have signed with Ulster for a further two years,” he said. “I hope to be back playing soon and will be aiming to put myself in the frame for selection for Ulster and Ireland over the coming months.
"2015 will be an exciting year at both provincial and national level and I hope to play a role in the coming years in the continuing success of Irish rugby."
The 30-year-old last played for Ireland in June 2014 and scored three tries for Ireland during last year’s winning Six Nations campaign.
