He has penned a three year deal.
Ronan Loughnane has become the latest Birr RFC product to make the move abroad.
He's signed a three year deal to play in the French Pro D2 with Aurillac.
The 20-year-old has been involved with Ireland's U-20s this season and with chances limited in the home provinces, has decided to take a plunge into the professional ranks in France.
Loughnane had been training with Munster and lined out for their development squad last month. That came off the back of playing his club rugby with UCD and a successful stint with Cistercian College Roscrea.
