Denis Hurley has signed a contract extension with Munster and will remain with the province until June 2016.
A product of the Munster academy, the Cork-born player has made 144 appearances, scoring 12 tries, his most recent against Saracens in the Champions Cup at Allianz Park.
This season he is a regular at first centre but for previous years he has featured on the wing or at full-back.
The 30-year-old made his Munster debut in May 2006 against Llanelli Scarlets and went on to make his Heineken Cup debut against Gloucester in the 2008 quarter-final.
He won an international senior cap against USA in June 2009 and has represented Ireland 'A' on nine occasions.
Munster have also confirmed that that Paddy Butler and Sean Dougall will leave at the end of the current season.
Both players did not seek to renew their contracts, with Sean Dougall now moving to French Pro D2 side Pau Rugby.
