In the summer of 2019 he developed a problem with his
Ulster head coach Dan McFarland describes him as "a quality scrummager and hard worker in the loose", and notes his "experience and technical excellence".[14] He praises him for being "a really good scrummager, his mauling is excellent, his maul defence is excellent. He’s where he needs to be when he needs to be there ... The more experience that he’s got in terms of scrummaging at the Champions Cup level, he’s demonstrated that he’s well able for that ... he’s pushed himself where he maybe sat a little lower in the depth chart to one who is battling it out to be the first-choice loosehead in our club".[11]
As of November 2021, he is also coaching the forwards at Ballymena rugby club.[15]
