Former Connacht captain John Muldoon will return to his home province as coach next season, the province have confirmed.
Muldoon will be responsible for the lineout and maul. He'll work in conjunction with Colm Tucker who remains in charge of the scrum and breakdown.
Since his retirement in 2018, he has acquired notable coaching experience in a five-year period with the Bristol Bears.
He was first appointed defence coach before taking on responsibility for the forwards.
Muldoon helped the side win a Challenge Cup in 2020 and then top spot in the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership league table.
He is Connacht's most capped player with 327 appearances to his name over his 15 year career. The province won an historic PRO12 Championship title in 2016 during his captaincy.
