Brian McLaughlin is delighted to be staying at Ravenhill <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has extended his contract with the province for another season.<\/b><\/p>\n

McLaughlin took a sabbatical from his teaching post with RBAI to take up the Ulster job in 2009, and he has now resigned his position at the school. <\/p>\n

He has taken Ulster to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals are they are on course for a Magners League play-off spot. <\/p>\n

“I’ve chosen to stay because of the confidence I have in the players and coaching staff,” said McLaughlin. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added: “I’m absolutely delighted to be committing my coaching future to Ulster. <\/p>\n

“I’ve said before that I feel there is something special about this Ulster squad, and had I opted to return to teaching at this stage, I would always have wondered what we could have been capable of. <\/p>\n

“We have developed a good squad culture and an array of talent that will stand us in good stead in the next few years. <\/p>\n

“Since I came on board two years ago we have always looked to compete with the best teams in Europe and we are def continuing to progressing in the right direction.” <\/p>\n

The former Ards player guided RBAI to seven Ulster Schools’ Cup finals in a 12-year period. <\/p>\n

McLaughlin was also successful at Ulster and Ireland age-group level and coached club sides Malone and Instonians before guiding Ballynahinch to a historic season in 2008-9, culminating in promotion to Division One of the All-Ireland League. <\/p>\n

He was part of the successful Irish U21 coaching team that won two triple crowns in 1996 and 1998. <\/p>\n

McLaughlin took up the role of specialist skills coach with Ireland in 2005, a position he held until April 2008, helping the team to win the Triple Crown in both 2006 and 2007. <\/p>\n
