Aidan Morgan to depart Ulster after one season
Ulster have announced that out-half Aidan Morgan will leave the club by mutual agreement.
The Ireland-qualified New Zealander joined the province from the Hurricanes last summer on a two-year deal.
The 23-year-old played 13 times and scored two tries but more recently found limited opportunities in Richie Murphy's side, who finished 14th in the URC table.
Jack Murphy, James Humphries and Jake Flannery are the other out-halves at the club.
"Aidan has been the consummate professional during his time here, but as the season unfolded, with opportunities more limited, we have mutually agreed to an early release, which we very amicably believe is in the best interests of both parties," said Ulster Rugby's general manager Bryn Cunningham.
"We thank Aidan for all his efforts over the past season and wish him and his partner all the very best for their next chapter."
"Going into the 2025/26 season, we will have three fully contracted fly-halves, between 21 and 26 years of age, all of which we need to continue to develop and get the very best out of in the seasons ahead."
Morgan said: "I want to thank Ulster Rugby fans, the players and staff for the part they have played in welcoming me in since joining last summer.
"I have enjoyed my time here in Belfast with Ulster, learning and growing as a player and a person.
"Thank you for the great memories and I wish everyone all the best for the future."

'He punched me' – Roy Keane admits manager he 'loved' took a swing for him
Brian Clough may have punched Roy Keane in the chest after the ex-Ireland captain made a mistake that resulted in an FA Cup clash being replayed, but Keane still "loved" the iconic manager. Keane, 53, is best known for his fiery performances at Manchester United, but many say Clough was the one who moulded him into the player he became. The legendary Nottingham Forest manager was known for his unpredictable behaviour and temper, particularly in the dressing room. Keane joined Forest in 1990 from Cobh Ramblers and went on to become one of the most sought-after young midfielders. Much of his development was down to many hard lessons he learned under Clough. One of those ended with the legendary manager punching him, after a mistake from Keane led to Forest drawing to Crystal Palace at the City Ground in an FA Cup third-round replay in 1991. Offering an insight into Clough's man-management during a recent appearance on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane said: "He (Clough) played mind games sometimes. "If you got beaten, you'd think he's going to go after you and then he'd go the other way and go, 'Have a few days off.' If you'd won a few, you'd be going, 'Listen, (I think we'll be getting) a couple of days off' and he'd be like, 'No, you're all in tomorrow.' He'd definitely be playing mind games.' Keane then turned to ex-Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley, who was widely known as 'Big Norm' at the time, and said: "We (had) the incident with me, you and the Crystal Palace goal where he punched me after the game. He'd give me days off and he'd be brilliant.' Disaster struck for Keane when his short back-pass to Crossley led to the keeper scuffing the ball to Palace ace John Salako, who looked up and lobbed Crossley in the final moment of the game. The game finished 2-2 after extra-time and Clough was furious, as Forest had already drawn 0-0 with Palace in their first FA Cup meeting. As there were no penalty shootouts in the FA Cup at the time, a second replay had to be scheduled, leaving Clough furious. While Crossley admitted he should have done better with his clearance, Clough did not see it that way. The Corkonian midfielder said: "I'm looking and it was honestly like slow motion. You know about not upsetting the manager because we all loved Brian Clough. He gave us a chance like Norm did for me. "I remember John Salako got it and I'm looking at Norm running back. John Salako, what would he have been? Forty-five yards out? (I thought) 'Norm get back. He's f***ing not getting there'. I swear, as soon as I heard it hit the net... "He (Clough) blamed me for the back pass and it was the cup game. So then we went to a replay and he wanted the game done and dusted there. I think it ended up going to, three replays or something. "So he had the thought of having a free weekend and was going, 'Now I've got to go to London, all the way to London to play Palace in the cup game that we hadn't won.' So he blamed me after the match.' Turning to Crossley, Keane said: "I don't think you said much after the game. You just let me take the wrap for it. He (Clough) just punched me in the chest.' Keane made 148 appearances for Forest between 1990 and 1993. He would eventually leave the City Ground to move to United, in a deal worth €4.45million, which was a British record at the time.

Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Lake Victoria to miss Royal Ascot
Aidan O'Brien will be short odds to be crowned top trainer at Royal Ascot for a 14th time next week but his powerful team for the meeting will not contain Lake Victoria. The Irish 1,000 Guineas winner was ruled out on Monday and won't be seen in action again until later this season. It is a blow to the Ballydoyle team as after losing her unbeaten record in the Newmarket Guineas, the 2024 champion juvenile bounced back to form with aplomb at the Curragh and had been a short-priced favourite to follow up in the Coronation Stakes. In a social media post, her Coolmore ownership, reported: 'Lake Victoria will not run at Royal Ascot. She will have an easy few weeks and will return for a late summer/autumn campaign.' READ MORE It did not specify if the filly has had a problem or not. It comes on the back of last week's announcement from Coolmore that the exciting two-year-old Albert Einstein would miss the Coventry Stakes at Ascot due to a 'sprained joint'. Bookmaker reaction to Lake Victoria's defection was to install the French 1,000 Guineas winner Zaragina as new favourite, with another O'Brien filly, Exactly, made a 6-1 shot by some firms. A total of six winners at Royal Ascot in 2024 was enough for O'Brien to be crowned champion trainer for a 13th time and took him to 91 winners in total at the world-famous meeting. Before Ascot the Irishman could have a shot at more Classic glory this season as he has four fillies left among 18 entries currently featuring in Sunday's Longines Prix De Diane at Chantilly. O'Brien landed the French Derby with Camille Pissarro at Chantilly earlier this month and he landed the 'Diane' – France's version of the Oaks – with Joan Of Arc four years ago. His potential runners in the €1 million contest this time include Bedtime Story, sixth to Zarigana in the French 1,000 Guineas last time, and January, who chased home Desert Flower at Group One level last year. Coolmore also revealed on Monday that Friday's Epsom Oaks heroine Minnie Hauk will bid to follow up in the Curragh equivalent while the runner-up there, Whirl, will contest the Pretty Polly over Irish Derby weekend. Tuesday's Irish action is in Sligo where Al Arrivee, a half-sister to the dual Gold Cup hero Al Boum Photo, is likely to be short odds to score in a bumper. Course and distance form is always a plus at Sligo and both Ilbdare and Cornmarket possess it in handicap hurdles.
