Stuart McCloskey, Nathan Doak and Ethan McIlroy are the latest Ulster players to sign new contracts at the province, joining six others who put pen to paper this week.
The trio are the latest renewals in a big week of contract news from the northern province, with Irish internationals James Hume, Billy Burns, Tom O'Toole, Jordi Murphy and Marty Moore all announcing new contracts in recent days, as well as back rower Matty Rea.
McCloskey, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has agreed a two-year extension up until the summer of 2024.
Twenty-year-old Doak has committed his long-term future to the province with a four-year contract, stepping up from the development deal he agreed last year.
The scrum-half has looked at home in professional rugby, playing all seven of their United Rugby Championship games this season, and scoring a team high 48 points.
Wing McIlroy has signed a new three-year contract, with the 21-year-old having seamlessly filled the hole left by the injured Jacob Stockdale, scoring twice in the URC, as well as crossing in last week's Heineken Champions Cup win against Northampton Saints.
"To have three Ulster-born players sign long-term for the upcoming seasons is testament to their commitment to the province they developed their game in," said head coach Dan McFarland.
"With Stuart having established himself as a strong defender, ball-carrier and play-maker, while Nathan and Ethan are two exciting young prospects who have already proven themselves at a senior level, it's clear that all three will play an important role in our ambitions as a club in the upcoming seasons."
