Connacht have announced that four of their players have been tied down to contract extensions.

Ahead of Saturday's Heineken Cup clash with Harlequins at the Stoop, the province has confirmed that George Naoupu , Jason Harris-Wright, Mick Kearney and Eoin McKeon have all signed new deals that will keep them in Galway until the summer of 2015.

Meanwhile, Connacht head coach Eric Elwood has confirmed that Naoupu  could also be available for this weekend's game as he recovers from a minor neck injury.

Kieran Marmion, David McSharry and Michael Swift all returned to training today and will be available for selection at the weekend, while Johnny O'Connor is also set for selection after missing last weekend's win over the Dragons.
