MUNSTER Rugby and the IRFU this Wednesday confirmed the signing of full-back Mike Haley on a three-year contract from Aviva Premiership side Sale Sharks.

Haley joins the province from Sales Sharks where he has made 105 appearances for the Premiership side, including a European debut against Munster at the AJ Bell Stadium in October 2014.
The exciting young talent has gained considerable experience over the past number of seasons, going on to win England Saxons honours on their tour to South Africa in June 2016 as well as representing an England XV against the Barbarians at Twickenham in May 2017.
