Fly-half Morgan set to sign for Ulster

Ulster are set to make their second signing for next season with Hurricanes' fly-half Aidan Morgan to join the province.

It is understood the New Zealander, who is qualified for Ireland through his grandparents, has signed a multi-year deal at Kingspan Stadium and will arrive in time for pre-season training.

Ulster have been on the look out for a number 10 after it was confirmed that Billy Burns would be joining Munster this summer.

Morgan is currently in his third season of Super Rugby Pacific with the table-topping Hurricanes, starting last weekend's win over Moana Pasifika, but has found his minutes limited by the presence of All Black Brett Cameron in Wellington.

Former Ireland Under-20s boss Richie Murphy was confirmed as the new Ulster head coach this month, arriving in Belfast with a reputation for fostering young talent.

At only 22-years-old, Morgan will fit into the age profile of an Ulster side presently on a four match winning run with key contributions from the likes of Dave McCann, Harry Sheridan and Cormac Izuchukwu.

It is expected that Ulster, who have already announced Werner Kok's arrival for the 2024/25 season, will confirm the move next week.
