Faloon on his way back to Ulster

Connacht flanker Willie Faloon will leave the Sportsground and return to his native Ulster in the summer.

The 28-year-old has signed a one-year contract at Kingspan Stadium which will run for the 2015/'16 season.

Ulster graduate Faloon came through the ranks before representing the province on 63 occasions between 2008 and 2012.

“While I am pleased to be returning to Ulster, I want to thank the coaches and fans of Connacht who have backed me over the past three seasons," said Faloon, who has made 39 appearances and scored six tries for Connacht .

He added: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Galway and in the next few months I am completely focused on helping Connacht be successful in both the PRO12 and the European Rugby Challenge Cup.”

"Willie has a hard edge to his game and he will provide us with another excellent option at PRO12 and European level," said Ulster’s Team Manager, Bryn Cunningham.
