Rugby United New York have confirmed the signing of former Leinster flyhalf Cathal Marsh. The 26-year-old left the Guinness Pro Championship side after making 26 senior appearances including eight starts in the 2015-16 campaign. He also played 11 times in the British & Irish Cup competition, starting all five games for Leinster’s reserve-grade side last season.
Marsh has not been a first choice goal kicker at professional level though he has kicked for St. Mary’s in the All-Ireland League club competition. He is known for his attacking play with strong passing skills. An Ireland international at age grade level, he played in the 2011 and 2012 u20 Six Nations tournaments and was selected for the 2012 Junior World Championship.
It’s the second overseas signing for RUNY after adding former England fullback Ben Foden earlier this year. The team are set to take part in the 2019 Major League Rugby season after playing an exhibition series in the spring.
