Tom Court and Simon Danielli have signed new contracts with Ulster Rugby which will keep them at Ravenhill until 2012.

Court gained his first full Irish cap in the 2009 Six Nations Championships playing against Italy in Rome, where he was part of the Irish Grand Slam winning side.

He arrived in Belfast in 2006 and before competing for Ulster, he was taken to the USA and Canada as part of the Ireland A Churchill Cup Squad.

"I am delighted and very, very happy. I have been honest from the start, I have been here for over four years, and I made it clear that I wanted to stay with Ulster", Court said.

"I feel very much at home here, I love the people, I love the rugby and I know this Ulster squad is developing in the right direction."

Danielli, a Scottish international winger, joined Ulster from the Borders at the start of the 2007/08 season and is the side's top try scorer this season.

"I am really pleased to be staying at Ulster, I consider it to be my home now and I am very excited about the next couple of years. I think we have a fantastic group of players and coaches, and I want to contribute to this team winning some silverware, " he said.

Ulster's Director of Rugby Operations David Humphreys said the "retention of Simon and Tom for another two years, two highly respected international players, highlights the fact that they believe that Ulster Rugby is on the pathway to success."
