Charlie Tector has signed his first professional contract with Leinster.

The 22-year-old Wexford native, who played rugby for Kilkenny College, has proven to be a versatile asset for the provence.

Playing predominantly at centre, and with extensive previous experience at outhalf, Tector has scored four tries in his eight appearances this season.

The Wexford man is certainly no stranger to success, and was notably a vital part of the U-20 Ireland campaign that claimed a historic Grand Slam in 2022.

Kilkenny College have described Charlie as 'a talented player', evident from 'his first day in first year'.

Of his character, they stated that 'he was a hard working, dedicated and respectful young man'.

"We acknowledge all the work that Charlie, his coaches and indeed his team mates, teachers and boarding staff contributed during his time in Kilkenny College and we wish Charlie continued success in his future rugby career," they added.
