Dan Goggin departs Munster for “playing opportunity abroad”

Goggin scored 10 tries in 81 Munster appearances since making his debut against Scarlets in September 2016.

Munster Rugby can confirm that Dan Goggin completed his time at the province last week and will pursue a new playing opportunity abroad.

A former St Munchin’s College student, Goggin has represented the Ireland U20s and the Ireland 7s side. Goggin scored 10 tries in 81 Munster appearances since making his debut against Scarlets in September 2016.

The Young Munster clubman spent three years in the Greencore Munster Rugby Academy and played a significant role in Munster A’s 2017 British & Irish Cup title-winning campaign.

2016/17 proved a breakthrough season for the centre, making a total of 14 senior appearances and featuring in Munster’s memorable win over the Maori All Blacks.

An excellent 2018/19 campaign saw Goggin make 21 appearances, including his Champions Cup debut against Exeter, and earn the province’s Young Player of the Year award.

He has made 23 appearances over the past three seasons.
