Ireland international Paddy Jackson has signed a two year extension with Ulster to keep him at the Province until 2019.

The 25-year-old made his Ulster debut in 2011 and has since played 118 matches, scoring 831 points.

The out-half started Ireland's first two Six Nations games this season, and has played 22 times for Ireland since his debut against Scotland in 2013.

Jackson started all three Tests during last year's summer tour to South Africa and also featured in the November Series as cover for the injured Jonathan Sexton.

Commenting on his new deal, Jackson said:

"I'm delighted to be staying on at Ulster Rugby for at least another two years. It is such a proud moment for myself and my family.

"Every time I pull on the Ulster jersey it is something that I don't want to take for granted and I hope to continue to grow as a player and contribute to this team in a positive way.

"I believe that the pillars for success are in place here at Ulster with a quality squad and management team. I am hugely excited by the challenges that lie ahead and I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me to this point in my career."
