Connacht Rugby have announced that Cian Prendergast will be captain for the upcoming 2024/25 season.
The 24-year-old made his Connacht debut in October of 2020 after having joined the academy that same year – signing a professional contract a short while later in March 2021. The Irish international was named captain for the first time in a club friendly against Bristol this past Friday. He has been a captain at school (Newbridge), international (Emerging Ireland) and now senior club level.

Prendergast will make his first competitive start as captain when Connacht open their season this Saturday to Munster in Thomond Park at 5.30pm.
