Ireland international forward Devin Toner has agreed a new two-year contract with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and will stay at Leinster until at least June 2017.

The 28-year-old lock made his Test debut against Samoa in 2010 and to date he has won 20 caps for his country, the last coming in the 26-23 victory over Australia in November.

IRFU performance director David Nucifora said: "Devin has developed into an international level second-row over the last few seasons.

"He has performed consistently at a high level for both Ireland and Leinster, and is illustrating strong leadership skills in both the provincial and national environments."

Toner added: "It is great to have signed on for another two years with Leinster.

"I have been with the province for almost a decade and during that time the club have invested a lot in my development and have given me the platform to reach my potential and achieve success at both provincial and national level."
