Munster lock Jean Kleyn has committed his future to the province by signing a new three-year contract, keeping him there until 2022.
The 25-year-old South African joined the club just over two years ago and made his Munster debut in September 2016.
Kleyn has scored six tries in 42 appearances for the province.
"I came over here two years ago with the intent of trying to make my mark at Munster and I've got another three year opportunity and I'm delighted," he said.
"I'm very happy to sign and glad to get it out of the way so early just to show my commitment to Munster as well.
