Munster Rugby complete deal for former England international

Done deal.

Munster have completed the signing of Irish-qualified former England tighthead prop Kieran Brookes on a two-year deal, according to RugbyPass.

The 35-year-old has had the final year of his Perpignan contract ripped up at his request so he can make the move to Limerick.

Brookes, who is 36 in August, played for Newcastle, Leicester Tigers, Northampton Saints, Wasps and Toulon before joining Perpignan two years ago, playing 21 times last season.

He won the last of his caps for England over a decade ago and will add some much-needed front-row reinforcements for the southern province.

Oli Jager was recently forced to retire, while Roman Salanoa is still struggling to get fit again.
