Promising centre Hugh Gavin has become the latest Connacht Academy player to sign a professional contract with the club.
Gavin made headlines earlier this year with his performances for Ireland in the 2024 U20 Six Nations, where he was named Player of the Match in the squad’s opening round win away to France.
This came on the back of his involvement on the 2023 U20 Grand Slam winning team, and as a finalist in the U20 World Rugby Cup.
The 20-year old Galway native plays his club rugby at Galwegians RFC and represented Coláiste Iognáid at school level.
