Video | Getting To Know Bryan Fitzgerald

2nd October 2024 By The Editor

We spoke to new signing Bryan Fitzgerald as he settles in at Munster after joining on a short-term 3 month contract in the summer.

Fitzgerald joined Munster from Garryowen where he produced a number of excellent displays last season. This included scoring tries in the Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup final and in the Division 1B playoff final, as Garryowen were promoted to Division 1A for this season.

The 25-year-old centre, who played his schools rugby with Crescent College Comprehensive and has two caps for Ireland Clubs, produced a standout performance for the AIL Select XV side who took on Munster A back in May, scoring two tries.

He played in the pre-season friendlies against both Bath and Gloucester, as well as in the second round of the URC against Zebre away in Parma, where he scored a try on his competitive debut.

As part of Munster Rugby’s recruitment and succession planning, AIL players are continually tracked and observed by Munster staff throughout the domestic season with Fitzgerald’s performances throughout 2023/24 catching the eye and resulting in this exciting opportunity.
