Chris Henry in action
Back-row forward Chris Henry has agreed a three-year deal contract extension with Ulster, as the club confirmed three other senior squad signings ahead of the 2010/11 season.

Henry made his Ulster senior squad debut in the 2008/2009 season, captaining the side on numerous occasions in Rory Best's absence through injury.

"Ulster has become a challenging team, both in the Magners League and Heineken Cup, and will continue to go from strength to strength", Henry said.

"I am really pleased that I will be part of the team for years' to come"

Senior squad members Nigel Brady, Willie Faloon and Ian Whitten have all re-signed on two year contracts.

Ulster Rugby Operations Director, David Humphreys branded the four players "key home grown talents"

"Our focus is to continually build on the foundations set and mould a powerful Ulster side, consisting mainly of indigenous players, with a number of high profile overseas signings."

Ulster take on Edinburgh in a must win Heineken Cup game on Friday.
