Cardiff forward Ben Donnell will join Ulster at the end of the current season on a three-year deal.<\/b><\/p>\n
The versatile 25-year-old, who is Irish-qualified, can also operate in the second row or back row positions.<\/p>\n
Donnell represented England at U18 and U20 level and had spells at London Irish and Gloucester Rugby, before joining Cardiff in 2023.<\/p>\n
He has made 26 appearances for the Welsh side and has scored four tries to date.<\/p>\n
“I’m really pleased to be signing for Ulster Rugby. With my family roots in Belfast, it makes the move even more special for me,” Donnell told the Ulster website.<\/p>\n
“I am very excited by the opportunity to join a team that’s playing some fantastic rugby and are competing at the top end of the league.<\/p>\n
“I know how tough Ulster are to play against, so I’m hugely motivated to come in, work hard, and add real value to a squad full of young talent and quality experience. I’m looking forward to getting started and pulling on the Ulster jersey.”<\/p>\n
Ulster general manager Rory Best said that Donnell will add “depth” to Ulster’s forward pack.<\/p>\n
“He is at a good age, with valuable experience from London Irish, Gloucester and Cardiff and that will bolster our squad and help drive competition,” Best added.<\/p>\n
“Ben is a strong ball-carrier with the versatility to play in multiple positions, which is an important skillset to have in the modern game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
