Ronan Loughney Biography

Ronan Loughney is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Player who was born on November 1, 1984 in Galway, County Galway, Ireland. Ronan Loughney, a former professional rugby union player from Ireland, was born 1 November 1984. He was a prop. Loughney began his career as a loosehead and moved to tighthead during the 2011-12 season. However, he continued to play loosehead until his retirement in 2017.

Loughney did not make as many domestic appearances the next season. He made five starts and five substitute appearances during the 2009-10 Celtic League. Loughney started the Olympus Madrid final group game, but was on the bench during most of Connacht’s group games. Loughney did not play in the quarter- final against Bourgoin but was replaced by Brett Wilkinson at the semi-final against Toulon as Connacht lost 19-12 to the Sportsground.

The 2011–12 season saw a number of changes at Connacht. For the province as a whole it was the first season in the Heineken Cup, the top European rugby competition. Connacht qualified for the 2011–12 Heineken Cup due to Leinster winning the previous season’s tournament, which granted Ireland an extra berth. Meanwhile, the squad had lost a number of key players during the preseason through transfers. Among the players to depart the province was first choice tighthead prop, Jamie Hagan, leaving a position open on the starting team. Initially this spot was filled by Rodney Ah You. Loughney made his Heineken Cup debut away to Harlequins on 10 November 2011, coming on as a replacement for Wilkinson. Ah You struggled with his new status as first choice however, and on 10 December 2011 Loughney started his first ever Heineken Cup game, at home to Gloucester in the Sportsground. Loughney started two more matches for the team in the Heineken Cup including the home game to Harlequins, Connacht’s first ever win in the competition. His status as first choice carried over into the domestic league, which had been renamed the Pro12, and Loughney played in 20 out of 22 games in the league season, starting 15 times. In March 2012, Loughney played his 100th game for the province, becoming one of the youngest players in the team’s history to reach the milestone.

Loughney was selected in the senior Ireland squad for the first in the summer of 2012 for the tour to New Zealand. He made his debut in the first test against the All Blacks, coming on as a replacement.

Loughney maintained his steady appearances for the province in the next season. He played in 16 games of the 2008-09 Celtic League, and started in seven. He made his European debut against the London Irish in the Challenge Cup pool stages. Loughney was also a substitute in four pool games before he started in Connacht’s quarterfinal loss to Northampton Saints.
