Ulster's Marcell Coetzee has signed a three-year contract extension, the province announced today. Coetzee tops Ulster's charts for the highest number of carries, tackles and turnovers won across the Champions Cup and PRO14 this season. Commenting on the deal, the 27-year-old said: "First of all, I want to thank the players, staff and supporters of Ulster Rugby for standing by my side over the past three seasons. "I can’t wait to see what the next three years holds for me and my wife personally, and for the club. Ulster Chief Executive, Jonny Petrie, said that the contract extension was a statement of intent and "a great endorsement of the rugby programme that we have in place under Dan."
