Peter O’Mahony signs new one-year deal with Munster, commits to giving more

Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony has put an end to speculation about his future by signing a new one-year deal with Munster, declaring that he still has “more left in me to give.”

O’Mahony’s future had been up in the air after he stepped down as Munster captain earlier this season. However, the 33-year-old has now committed to another year with the province, citing his deep connection to both Munster and Ireland as a driving force behind his decision.

The announcement, made on O’Mahony’s Instagram page, was met with excitement from fans who will now see the experienced forward continue to represent both club and country. With 182 appearances for Munster and 105 caps for Ireland under his belt, O’Mahony’s leadership and experience will be crucial as both teams look ahead to upcoming challenges.

The new contract means O’Mahony will be available for Ireland selection for the upcoming two-Test series against South Africa, providing a boost to the national team as they prepare to take on the back-to-back world champions.

Munster, who were recently knocked out of the Investec Champions Cup, will be looking to O’Mahony to help lead them to success in the United Rugby Championship. With key matches against the Bulls and the Lions on the horizon, O’Mahony’s presence on the field will be vital as Munster aim to climb the league table.

O’Mahony’s decision to extend his stay with Munster follows in the footsteps of teammate Conor Murray, who also recently signed a contract extension with the province. With both players committing their futures to Munster, fans can look forward to seeing these seasoned professionals continue to make an impact on the pitch.
