Munster have announced a new two-year contract for flanker Tommy O'Donnell.

The Tipperary native enjoyed a break-through campaign last season, earning his first two caps for Ireland during the summer tour of North America.

So far, this season has been disrupted by injury, but the IRFU and Munster have still rewarded his potential with a contract extension that will see him remain with the province until June 2016.

In a further boost for head coach Rob Penney, Keith Earls, Ian Keatley and Luke O'Dea are all set to return to full training this week after injury lay-offs.
