A powerful and energetic forward, who can play across the back row, McNabney, showed his potential last season after making his senior men's debut against Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun Stadium. The Ballymena talent put in an impressive performance and got Ulster fans excited about what he can bring to the side. McNabney was a key member of the 2022 and 2023 Ireland U-20 Grand Slam-winning sides and will be hoping to progress further in 2024/25.
