Ulster confirm signing of former All Black and Munster star Alby Mathewson
Ulster have announced the signing of former New Zealand international scrum-half Alby Mathewson on a one-year contract.
Mathewson, who had a successful playing stint with Munster that ended in December, will join Ulster this summer.
The 34-year-old won four caps for the All Blacks in 2010.
"We are delighted that a player of Alby's quality is set to join the squad," Ulster head coach Dan McFarland said.
"His leadership skills and extensive experience will be a valuable addition to our squad, especially for our younger scrum-halves as they progress."
