The happy day comes after a frustrating end to the season for the 30-year-old.

The Cork man underwent surgery last month after suffering a nasty ankle injury against Ulster in the United Rugby Championship.

It meant missing their defeat to Glasgow as Graham Rowntree relinquished their URC crown.

In spite of the setback, the province was awarded with a number of individual end-of-season gongs.

Jack Crowley was named as the competition's players' player of the season, while Rowntree was awarded Coach of the Season.

It was the second URC end-of-season award in as many weeks for Crowley.

He was also named Next-Gen Player of the Season - voted by his peers as the best up-and-coming talent aged under 23.

Rowntree and Crowley were voted in by members of each club of the URC's five participating nations - Rowntree being voted in by fellow head coaches, while Crowley was selected by other captains and vice captains.

It's a groundbreaking feat for Crowley - with the 2023-24 season being his first as a regular starter in the number 10 spot.

Crowley had made only 7 starts before April last year - but was handed the leading role in five of the final six games of the last year's title-winning campaign - eventually helping the Reds to a Grand Final win vs the Stormers in Cape Town.

His stellar performances have lead Crowley to become Ireland's new starting 10 following the retirement of legend Johnny Sexton.

The 24-year-old has travelled to South Africa for Andy Farrell's side's two-test series against the Springboks.
