Transfer News| Munster Rugby to Sign Antoine Frisch from Bristol

Munster Rugby and the IRFU can confirm the signing of centre Antoine Frisch on a three-year contract from the start of next season.

Munster look once again to make more moves for the future as they look to add to their signings and departures this season such as Damien De Allende.

The news of Johann Van Grann leaving for the premiership next season and taking the likes of Stephen Larkham with him hit the red province hard. Munster have found their replacement in current coach Graham Rowntree.

Rowntree is making a huge step in his career as he steps up as Munster’s head coach for the foreseeable future. With this new signing he looks to be making his own stamp on the side.

Antoine Frisch hails from France, the 25-year-old is Irish-qualified through his maternal grandmother who hails from Dublin.

He joins the province from Bristol Bears where he has made 13 appearances for the Premiership side so far this season.

He previously lined out for the French PRO D2 side Rouen Normandie.

Munster could be looking at a future Irish and Munster star as the young centre at 6’3 looks like he could make waves in the Irish game.
