Connacht Rugby and the IRFU have announced that Ireland international Quinn Roux has signed a two-year contract extension up to the end of the 2020/21 season.

He has made 85 appearances so far for the province and won six Ireland caps.

Quinn Roux previously played for the Stormers, Western Province and Leinster.

He joined Connacht initially on a loan deal in 2014 before signing a full-time contract in 2015.

The 27-year-old South African-born lock was a central figure in Connacht's GUINNESS PRO12 title win in 2016 and made his Ireland debut on the tour to South Africa in the same year.
