The South African born prop qualifies for Ireland through residency and has featured for the Ireland Wolfhounds side.
"Connacht has been my home for the last 5 years and it's great to be able to commit for another 2 years. I'm delighted to have played for Ireland Wolfhounds and I would love to make the next step and represent Ireland at Senior level but at the moment I am concentrating on being the best rugby player I can be," he said.

The 6'4" 98kg Magherafelt born player was part of the Ireland U20 team that won the Grand Slam in 2007 in a side that included current Connacht players Andrew Browne, Jamie Hagan and Shane Monahan
