Ireland winger Craig Gilroy has signed a new two-year deal with Ulster.
Gilroy, who has scored two tries in his six international appearances, is the youngest player to have reached 100 games for his province and was nominated for the Guinness PRO12 Player's Player of the Year award last season.
The 24-year-old, who has crossed for 35 tries in his 110 Ulster appearances, is now tied to the province until the end of the 2018 season.
"I'm delighted to be staying," said Gilroy. "I still have huge aspirations with Ulster and Ireland so it's great to be continuing here with my home province. I'm really enjoying my rugby and I've got a lot of family and friends here.
"I love playing for Ulster, particularly at Kingspan Stadium, where we receive fantastic support. It's a great place to play and it's a great place to score tries.
"The squad that we have, and that we are continuing to develop, looks really good and I think we're close to winning some silverware."
