Scrumhalf Nathan Doak, Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey and speedster Ethan McIlroy are the latest players to commit their futures to URC side.

Scrum-half Nathan Doak has piqued the interest of Ulster supporters since making his senior Ulster debut against Munster in December 2020, eleven years to the day before he ran out as a mascot against the same opposition.

      The 20-year-old Irish U20s international has signed a four-year contract that will keep him at Kingspan Stadium until at least the summer of 2026.

      McCloskey, a staple in Ulster matchday squads, has nearly 150 appearances for his province and has been recognized internationally through his regular call-ups to the Ireland squad each season.

      McIlroy broke onto the forefront in December 2019 when he made his debut against Leinster. The former Irish U20s player from Belfast has been rewarded with a new three-year senior deal, which will keep him with the province until at least the end of the season.

      Head Coach Dan McFarland said: “To have three Ulster-born players sign long-term for the upcoming seasons is testament to their commitment to the province they developed their game in.

      “With Stuart having established himself as a strong defender, ball-carrier and play-maker, while Nathan and Ethan are two exciting young prospects who have already proven themselves at a senior level, it’s clear that all three will play an important role in our ambitions as a club in the upcoming seasons.”

      'Caelan Doris... I’m not sure he gets in the Lions back row at the moment'

      As a truck driver who spends long hours on the road, I understand the value of hard work. My job demands long shifts, constant focus, and time away from loved ones. To make extra income during my limited downtime, I started mining cryptocurrency. After months of dedication, I finally saved enough to buy BITCOIN through P2P on Binance. It felt like a major milestone. I was proud of what I had built, turning my effort into BITCOIN, an asset I believed in. That pride quickly turned into heartbreak. Someone I trusted scammed me out of $85,000 worth of BITCOIN in a single transaction. I was crushed. I had sacrificed sleep, missed out on time with friends and family, and worked relentlessly, only to have everything taken from me in seconds. The emotional and financial blow was devastating. Still, I was not ready to give up. I started researching ways to recover stolen BITCOIN and came across TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. I saw countless testimonials from people who had lost cryptocurrency and managed to recover it with their help. Desperate but hopeful, I reached out and shared my story. To my complete shock, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY managed to trace and recover my stolen BITCOIN within just 21 hours. The funds were safely returned to my wallet. I cannot describe the relief I felt.

Even more incredible, their team helped law enforcement track down the scammer responsible. That person was arrested, and justice was served. I could finally breathe again, knowing that the person who took advantage of my trust was held accountable.
