Ireland wing Mack Hansen signs new deal with Connacht

The Irish province announced that Hansen, whose existing contract still had 12 months remaining, has agreed terms until 2025.

Hansen, who was born in Australia but qualifies for Ireland through his Cork-born mother, burst on to the Test scene this season.

He starred in Ireland’s Triple Crown-winning Six Nations campaign, gaining man-of-the-match honours on his Six Nations bow against Wales, then scored a stunning try when Ireland lost to France in Paris.

“Ever since I arrived in Ireland, I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and my team-mates who have made me feel right at home,” Hansen told Connacht’s official website.

“Personally, I am pleased with how my first season has gone, and now I want to do everything I can to help the club achieve success for the next three seasons.”
