Richie Murphy praises key man as Ulster make head coach role permanent

Richie Murphy has highlighted the role played by Bryn Cunningham in Ulster's recent revival after penning a two-year deal to take over the province on a permanent basis. Murphy, who took over the role of interim head coach following Dan McFarland's departure two months ago, hailed Ulster's Head of Rugby Operations and Recruitment for his part in the process.

“I’m looking forward to continuing with Ulster after a very enjoyable start to my time with the club," said Murphy. "I would like to thank all of the support staff, especially Bryn Cunningham, for helping me settle in.“Bryn has been a big part of this process, and I would like to thank him for all his efforts in getting us to this point.

Interim CEO of Ulster Rugby, Hugh McCaughey believes Muprhy's appointment will help develop Ulster’s pipeline of young, homegrown talent even further. “We are delighted at Ulster Rugby to have Richie committed to the province for the next two seasons," he said.
