The new Academy recruits are Emmet Calvey, Conor Kennelly, Oisín Minogue, Eoghan Smyth and Tom Wood.
As previously confirmed, Fionn Gibbons, Shay McCarthy, Evan O'Connell, Ruadhán Quinn and Kieran Ryan have been promoted to the senior squad for the 2025/26 season.
Ben O'Connor will spend one more year in the Academy before moving up to the senior squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.
After completing his third year in the Academy this season, prop Darragh McSweeney extends his time in the Academy after injury hampered his development.
Fairly conservative academy intake, I would imagine they will do a second intake at some stage, or a pretty big intake next year looking at the Irish Under 19s with Michael O'Sullivan, James O'Leary, Jamie Conway all being pretty likely to make an academy . Calvey definitely the most important from this batch for us to get into a pro environment ASAP. Tough to know how good many of these guys are after a tough 20s year under Doak
