Ireland Under-21 coach Mark McCall will succeed Alan Solomons at Ulster in a three-year deal starting on July 1.

On retiring from the game with 13 Ireland caps, McCall immediately went into coaching, and was drafted into the Ulster set-up where he assisted head coach Harry Williams during the rest of the 1998-99 season and throughout 1999-2000, as well as coaching club side Ballynahinch.

Ulster Rugby Chief Executive Michael Reid said: “We are delighted to have got our man. Mark McCall has been involved with the Ulster set-up with Solly and we believe he is the ideal man to finish the job we have started," said Reid.
