Ulster hooker Andi Kyriacou and lock Neil McComb have agreed new two-year contracts with the Ravenhill team.

Kyriacou joined Ulster from Saracens in 2009 and has made 34 appearances for the province.

Having played for England at U21 level, the Irish qualified hooker was selected for Ireland A against Tonga in 2009.

The 27-year-old captained Campbell College to Northern Bank Schools’ Cup success in 2002 and has been an integral member of the Belfast Harlequins team in recent years.

Kyriacou also played for Sale and Leeds and enjoyed a loan spell with Munster during his five-year stint with Saracens.
