Munster Rugby can confirm that Conor Bartley will depart the province this summer.
Our thanks to Conor for his contribution to Munster Rugby and we wish him all the best for the future.
The tighthead prop joined the province in November 2024 and earned his first Munster cap against Scarlets in September 2025. Bartley’s Champions Cup debut was against Gloucester at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in December and he made six appearances over the 2025/26 campaign.
The Young Munster prop, who can play on both sides of the scrum, played his schools rugby with Castletroy College before a one-season spell with Garryowen.
Over the past 10 years, Bartley has been a cornerstone of Young Munster’s front-row, winning three consecutive Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup titles between 2021 and 2023.
The 31-year-old also represented the Ireland Clubs side against Portugal A in March 2024.
