Fionn Gibbons Moving Up To Senior Squad

Munster Rugby and the IRFU can confirm that centre/winger Fionn Gibbons will move up from the Academy to the senior squad this summer on a one-year development contract.

A Grand Slam winner with the Ireland U20s in 2022, scoring three tries in four appearances, Gibbons plays his AIL rugby with Young Munster RFC and has made two senior appearances to date.

He becomes the fifth Academy player moving up to the senior squad for next season with senior contracts already confirmed for winger Shay McCarthy, lock Evan O’Connell, back-row forward Ruadhán Quinn and prop Kieran Ryan.

The 22-year-old has returned to team training this week after recovering from a long-term knee injury sustained last season.

Capable of playing in the centre and on the wing, Gibbons joined the Academy in 2022 after coming up through the ranks at Castleknock College.

He made his Munster debut against Connacht in October 2022 and featured against the Sharks last season.
