Tributes have been paid to the Ulster Rugby player, Nevin Spence, who died tragically along with his father, Noel, and brother, Graham, following an accident on the family farm.
22-year-old Nevin, who made 42 appearances for Ulster and performed with distinction in the Heineken Cup, had an immensely bright future in the game and in 2011 he was named Young Player of the Year at the Irish Rugby Football Union Players Association Awards ceremony.
Shane Logan, Chief Executive of Ulster Rugby, said: "I am deeply saddened by this tragic news. Nevin was a wonderful player but also a wonderful person. He was well liked by everyone who knew him and his loss will be deeply felt by his teammates and everyone at Ulster Rugby."
"He will be sorely missed and the thoughts of everyone involved in the game are with his family at this time."
ERC expresses its sincere regret at Nevin's passing and has passed on its condolences to all at Ulster Rugby.
