He was named in the side for Round of the 2020–21 Pro14 against Edinburgh. [3] He made his Ulster debut in this match, coming on as a replacement. [4] He was selected for his second appearance against Connacht on the 27th December 2020. He came on in the 68th minute for John Andrew. [5] He signed a one-year professional contract in April 2021.
