McFarland says is is pleased to bolster his pack with the signing of Milasinovich:

“Gareth is a big strong man who will provide us with another good option and enhance competition for places in the front row. We have been aware of his development since his move to Worcester and we’re looking forward to seeing him contribute to Ulster from next season.”

Meanwhile Alan O’Connor, Ross Kane, Dave Shanahan and Rob Lyttle have all signed contract extensions.
