Rónan Kelleher (born 24 January 1998) is an Irish professional rugby union player who plays as a hooker for United Rugby Championship club Leinster and the Ireland national team .
Early life
[ edit ]
Kelleher was initially an outside back and then a back-row for much of his underage years. He then transitioned to prop, before finally settling on hooker.[1] St. Michael's College, Dublin where his father was principal. His older brother Cian Kelleher is a fellow professional rugby union player.[2]
Club career
[ edit ]
Kelleher came up through the Leinster Academy.[3]
He scored both tries as Leinster A beat the Scarlets Premiership Select side 15–8 to win the final of the inaugural Celtic Cup in 2018.[4] Leinster debut in February 2019 against Southern Kings .[5]
International career

Ireland

Kelleher represented the Ireland under-20s at both the 2017 World Rugby Under 20 Championship and the 2018 Six Nations Under 20s Championship , playing 11 games and scoring two tries.
Kelleher received his first call up to the senior Ireland squad on 15 January 2020 for the 2020 Six Nations Championship . He made his debut as a replacement against Scotland on 1 February 2020.[6] [7] 2021 Six Nations .[8]

Kelleher joined the 2021 British & Irish Lions pre tour training camp in Jersey , as informal cover for hooker due to the unavailability of touring hookers Jamie George and Luke Cowan-Dickie . Kelleher was not added to the touring party at the time,[10] [11] [12]
