Stuart McCloskey (born 6 August 1992) is an Irish professional rugby union player for Ulster Rugby.[2] His position of choice is centre. Big and imposing (6 ft 4in in height and 107 kg, nearly 17 stone, in weight), he has the build of a modern centre and is seen as a great prospect for Irish rugby.
He attended Bangor Grammar School as a youth before proceeding to the Ulster academy, and made his breakthrough into the Ulster Rugby first team in the 2013-14 season.[3] He played for Emerging Ireland (effectively the third XV of the Irish rugby team) at the 2014 IRB Nations Cup.[4]
International career
McCloskey received his first call up to the senior Ireland squad by coach Joe Schmidt on 20 January 2016 for the 2016 Six Nations Championship.[5]
