Finlay Bealham the latest Connacht player to sign contract extension
Connacht and Irish international prop Finlay Bealham has signed a two year contract extension that will keep him at the Sportsground until the end of the 2020-21 season. The 27 year old who has been capped seven times for Ireland, was this week named in Joe Schmidt’s Ireland squad for the upcoming November internationals.

He is in excellent form this season and it is great to see that form been rewarded with inclusion in the Ireland squad this week. He is an outstanding scrummager and we are delighted that he has signed a contract extension for another two seasons.”
Following his contract signing, Finlay Bealham added: “I am hugely grateful to everyone in Connacht for the opportunities given to me to develop as a player and progress from the Connacht Academy programme to being part of the senior side. There is huge ambition in Connacht with exciting plans both on and off the field which I look forward to being part of. As a squad we are determined to bring further success to the province in the seasons ahead.”
