Alex Nankivell Signs Two-Year Contract Extension With Munster

Munster Rugby and the IRFU are pleased to confirm that centre Alex Nankivell has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at the province until at least 2027. The 28-year-old joined Munster from the Chiefs in the summer of 2023 and immediately established himself as a key member of the squad. His debut season saw the Māori All Black become a fans’ favourite with his all-action displays. Equally effective in attack and defence, Nankivell scored three tries in 19 appearances in his debut season. He has scored one try in three appearances so far this campaign and returned from a hip injury at the weekend to help Munster to an important URC win over Emirates Lions.
