Ulster scrum-half resists English interest to sign new contract with northern province

Ulster scrum-half Nathan Doak

Scrum-half Nathan Doak says he believes Ulster can reach greater heights after resisting the lures of England and agreeing a new two-year deal with his home province.

The 24-year-old was believed to be on the radar of Sale Sharks as a potential replacement for Raffi Quirke, however the former Ireland Under-20s star has turned down the option of moving to the PREM and extended his stay at Ravenhill until the summer of 2028.
