Byron Ralston signs two-year extension with Connacht Rugby

Byron Ralston has put pen to paper on a two-year contract extension with Connacht Rugby.

The 23-year-old joined the club in the summer of 2022 from Western Force, where he scored seven tries.

He has made 28 appearances for Connacht since then, featuring at outside centre and both sides of the wing.

Ralston was born in Darwin, Australia, but is Irish qualified and will now play his rugby at Dexcom Stadium until at least 2026.

Head coach Pete Wilkins said: “Byron is a key member of the squad thanks to his consistency and versatility. The frequency of his selection so far this season demonstrates his importance to us, and with his work ethic and commitment to growing his game, he will only continue to improve and contribute over the coming seasons.

"We’re delighted to have him sign on at Dexcom for another two years.”
