McCann has featured in every Ulster game this season [Getty Images]
Ulster forward David McCann has signed a new two-year deal which ties him down to the province until 2028.
The 25-year-old back row has featured in every United Rugby Championship and Challenge Cup game for Richie Murphy's side this season, starting 13 of their 15 fixtures.
Ulster's 2023-24 player of the year, McCann also featured for Ireland A in the emphatic win over Spain in November but is yet to make his debut for the senior international side.
"I am pleased to be continuing at Ulster, the team has shown this season the journey we are on and I feel proud to be a part of that," said the former Ireland under-20 captain, who made his Ulster debut in 2020.
"I want to push myself to play at the highest level, be successful doing this and Ulster is a great place to achieve those goals.
"I'm excited for the next two seasons and how far the club can go."
Ulster general manager Rory Best said McCann "always brings a massive amount of commitment and energy on the pitch".
"His ability to perform across the back row positions is a huge benefit for us as we attack both competitions in the URC and in Europe," added Best.
"Dave has a lot of playing experience now for his age and the challenge for him is to keep pushing on and develop his leadership qualities in the years ahead."
