Irish prop Ross agrees new deal

Mike Ross has made 39 appearances for Leinster

Ireland prop Mike Ross has agreed a new international contract with the IRFU which will keep him at Leinster until the end of the 2013 season.

Ross has won seven Ireland caps since his debut in 2009, the same year he moved from Harlequins to Leinster.

“I am delighted to be able to have my new contract agreed and to remain playing for Leinster,” said Ross.

Rob Kearney, Brian O’Driscoll, Ronan O’Gara and Jamie Heaslip have also agreed new contracts in recent months.

Ross added: “Since coming back to Ireland, Leinster really has become my home and hopefully I can continue to maintain my performance levels to help keep the team successful and also keep me in the frame for selection for the Ireland team.”
