Stalwart: Andrew Trimble

Ulster winger, Andrew Trimble, has signed a new contract with the IRFU until at least the summer of 2015.

Trimble, a graduate of the Hughes Insurance Ulster Rugby Academy, made his senior debut for Ulster against Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park in September 2005.

The 28-year old has made 155 appearances for the province and has scored an Ulster record 50 first team tries. He is on track to break his personal record of ten tries in one campaign, having scored eight tries for Ulster so far this season.

Trimble made his Ireland debut against Australia at Lansdowne Road in November 2005. He has won 49 caps and has scored 11 international tries. His last appearance for Ireland was against South Africa in November last year.

"I am delighted that Andrew has signed a new national contract as he is, without doubt, a world-class finisher and a hugely important member of our squad," said Ulster director of rugby David Humphreys.

"Andrew has now spent almost eight years at Ulster Rugby. This deal will take him to a decade at Ravenhill and that reflects both his remarkable consistency of performance and his unwavering commitment to his province."
