Connacht Rugby are pleased to confirm the latest addition to next season’s playing squad, with the signing of Seán O’Brien from the Leinster Academy.
Born in Pittsburgh but Irish-qualified, O’Brien has made three professional appearances for Leinster and also had a stint with the LA Giltinis in the MLR, helping them to win the title in 2021.
He also played a key role in Ireland’s U20 Six Nations campaign in 2020, featuring in a squad that included future Connacht teammates Cian Prendergast, Cathal Forde, Diarmuid Kilgallen, Oran McNulty and Andrew Smith.
