Haley joins Munster to boost Ireland playing chances
From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
SALE agreed to release full-back Mike Haley today to enable him to join Munster and push his claims for an Ireland call-up.
The 23-year-old has represented England Saxons but qualifies for Ireland through family roots in Limerick and has signed a three-year contract with Munster from the start of next season.
Haley will be a straight replacement for Ireland full-back or wing Simon Zebo, who is leaving Thomond Park to join French club Racing 92 in the summer.
