Munster have confirmed that fly-half Ben Healy will be leaving the Irish province at the end of the ongoing season.

Healy, a product of Munster Academy, made his debut for the province ahead of the 2018/19 season and has made 47 appearances since then.

He has overall racked up 275 appearances for the club and has made five starts this season.

“This has been a huge decision to make, and working closely with the province I have had the chance to give it the time and consideration it warranted," he told the club's official website.

“Making the decision to leave my home club has not been easy and I am hugely grateful for the opportunity to represent my province.

“I have career objectives I wish to target, and I believe a move to a club such as Edinburgh Rugby gives me the best opportunity to fulfil my professional goals.

“As a result of this process I have a heightened sense of urgency to achieve success with Munster and I look forward to doing everything possible to make this happen in the coming months.”

Munster are positioned sixth in the United Rugby Championship table with 11 wins from 18 matches.
