Munster head coach Johann van Graan has put pen to paper on a new deal.

The South African has signed a contract extension with the province that will keep him with the Reds until June 2022.

The 39 year old took over from Rassie Erasmus in November of 2017, guiding Munster to the semi finals of the Champions Cup and the Pro 14.

Speaking to MunsterRugby.ie, van Graan said

"I am very happy and grateful to be in this position, knowing that I can continue to work with this incredible group of people and play my part in shaping Munster’s future. Coming to Munster I wanted to become part of the community, and every day I get to experience that sense of belonging with my family and I settling in from the very beginning.

“Moments and scenes such as last Saturday week in Edinburgh with the Munster supporters, players and management make for amazing memories, they can never be taken for granted. This is a special place, a special club to be part of and I look forward to continuing the journey together."
