Kieran Marmion is one of eight players to be leaving Connacht at the end of this season.
Double centurion Kieran Marmion moves to Bristol Bears at the end of the campaign, while Shane Delahunt and Alex Wootton have announced their retirements from pro rugby.
Also leaving the club are Adam Byrne, Leva Fifita, Conor Fitzgerald, Seán Masterson and Ciaran Booth.
"The eight men have each made their own unique contributions to Connacht Rugby” said director of rugby Andy Friend.
“So I’d like to thank them and wish them every success in the future, wherever their path may take them” added Friend.
“I’m sure they’ll get a well-deserved reception when we acknowledge them on the pitch after our final home game against Cardiff on Saturday”.
“I also want to thank Mossy Lawler and Dewald Senekal who finish up with us at the end of the season, after two years in the pro coaching team” added Friend.
“They’ve both played very important roles in the development of the squad in that time, and to them and their families I wish them every happiness in the future."
Meanwhile James Lowe has signed a contract extension with Leinster.
The New Zealand native has scored 50 tries for the province since joining in 2017, as well as collecting 20 Irish caps. Lowe follows Josh van der Flier and James Ryan in signing a new deal in recent weeks.
