Ireland International John Cooney signs with ISC

We are proud to announce that Ulster scrum half and Ireland international  John Cooney has signed as a client.

He made his senior debut for Leinster in 2011 away to Ospreys before joining Connacht on a short-term loan deal. Moving permanently to Leinster ahead of the 2015/16 season, he made 26 appearances and scored 81 points. In 2017 he signed a two year contract at Kingspan Stadium ahead of the 2017/18 season, in effect replacing Ruan Pienaar. In his debut season,  Cooney made an immediate impression at Ulster, winning Ulster Player of the Year, the Supporters Club Player of the Year and the Rugby Writers' Player of the Year in his debut season. He was awarded with a contract extension which will keep him at Kingspan Stadium until at least 2022. 

Cooney represented Ireland four times at U-18s level and played eleven times for the Irish U-20s squad. Cooney also represented Emerging Ireland in the 2013 Tbilisi Cup. He came on as a replacement for Michael Heaney in the opening game, a win over Georgia, and started the two remaining games, a defeat to South Africa President's XV and a victory over Uruguay.
