Leinster have handed a new two-year contract to injury-stricken wing Luke Fitzgerald.

The 25-year-old, who will miss the remainder of the season with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury, had been linked with a switch to Munster.

However, the Ireland international has committed his future to the three-time Heineken Cup winners for at least the next two years.

"I'm delighted to commit my future here. It is hugely frustrating to miss the run-in to the campaign but I'm looking forward to beginning my rehab over the coming weeks and getting back in a blue shirt next season," Fitzgerald told the club's official website.

Fitzgerald has been dogged with a number of injuries in the past four years.
