The 21-year-old has cemented himself as one of the key players in Ulster’s Senior Men’s side, after making his debut against Munster in December 2024.
Murphy has been one of the focal points of Ulster’s lethal attack this season, with the fly-half showcasing his vision and strong kicking abilities, helping to open up the field and unlock defences.
With a bright future ahead of him, Murphy’s potential has been recognised at international level, with call-ups to the Emerging Ireland tour in 2024 and a recent call-up to the Ireland XV side for February’s fixture against England ‘A’ in Limerick.
Murphy continues to work with a familiar coaching team, having played under the current Ulster coaching staff, including his father Richie, at Ireland U20 level where he was top points scorer in the 2024 U20 Six Nations Championship.
Commenting on the new extension, Murphy said:
“I’m very happy to be staying at Ulster for another two years. From the minute I joined I have felt very welcomed by the staff, players and the Ulster supporters.
“I’m enjoying my time here and the opportunities to play in both the URC and Europe.
“We have showed the clear progress we are making together and I’m very driven to continue that development with my teammates in the future.”
Ulster Rugby General Manager, Rory Best, commented:
“Securing Jack’s future was another key contract priority for us. Jack has shown an impressive maturity for his age and has already shown that he can lead our attack from number ten.
“His kicking game is a real point of difference for our style of play and the way we want to put pressure on the opposition.
"The exciting thing about Jack is the potential that he has, and we must continue trying to make the most from his talent over the seasons ahead.”
