Adeolokun extends his stay at Connacht
Connacht Rugby have announced the contract extension of Niyi Adeolokun. The 25-year-old wing, who is currently in his third season with the province, has signed a new contract that will see him play at the Sportsground until at least the summer of 2019.
Commenting on the contract extension, Connacht CEO Willie Ruane said:
"We are delighted to announce that Niyi will continue to play his rugby with Connacht Rugby. I know he is a very popular player among the squad and our supporters and his story is a tremendous example of the success that hard work and determination can bring about."
The Nigerian-born Adeolokun has featured in 19 games last season and scoring one of three Connacht tries in the PRO12 final win over Leinster.
He was first on the score sheet for Connacht this season when he ran in for five points and his 12th Connacht try against Glasgow Warriors in round 1.
