The Lisburn man has enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2024/25, making an impact on his first senior start in October, when he scored a second-half try against Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Carson has continued to grow in stature and has earned seven caps to date, notably scoring two tries in last month's interprovincial derby against Leinster at Kingspan Stadium.
The exciting playmaker is a former Irish U20 Six Nations Grand Slam winner under Head Coach Richie Murphy, having formed a winning partnership with fellow Ulster centre, Jude Postlethwaite.
Carson began his career playing mini rugby with Lisburn RFC and would go on to play in the same Wallace High School team as Nathan Doak. He also gained valuable experience at club level through Banbridge RFC and more recently with Ballynahinch RFC.
Reacting to the news of his extension, Ulster Rugby’s General Manager, Bryn Cunningham said:
“We are delighted to secure Ben’s future for the next three years and are excited to see how he grows in the Ulster jersey.
“He is a tenacious centre, who is busy around the park and has undoubtedly been one of the biggest improvers in our squad over the last 6-12 months.
“That growth has translated into strong recent performances and Ben putting his hand up for selection every week.”
On the news, Carson added:
“I’m so excited for what the future holds. It’s been a dream of mine since I was young to play for Ulster, and this season I have earned more opportunities to stake my claim.
“For me, I want to keep developing my game and establish myself within the team in the months ahead."
