Edwin Edogbo Signs New Munster Contract

Munster Rugby are pleased to confirm a contract extension for Edwin Edogbo that keeps him at the province until at least 2027.

The 23-year-old Ireland international came up through the ranks at Cobh Pirates and UCC and became the first player from Cobh to enter the Munster Rugby Academy in 2021.

He has scored seven tries in 29 appearances for Munster to date and became the latest Academy graduate to make his Ireland debut against Italy in this year’s 6 Nations.

Edwin made his Munster debut away to Dragons in 2022 and made eight appearances over the URC title-winning campaign of 2022/23.

His third start for Munster saw Edogbo help Munster to a brilliant win over South Africa A at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in November 2022.

An impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign saw Edogbo make seven starts before sustaining an Achilles injury against Leinster in December.

After missing all of last season, Edogbo made a welcome return to action against Edinburgh in October.

He started the win over Leinster at Croke Park the following week and has gone on to make 14 appearances for Munster so far this campaign, including his Champions Cup debut against Bath.

His impressive form earned Edogbo a call-up to the Ireland squad for the 6 Nations and he made his international debut against Italy in February.

His brother Seán made his Munster debut this season in a Player of the Match performance against Dragons and will be promoted from the Academy to the senior squad next season.
