Now in their fifth year the awards celebrate the very best in Irish club rugby and guest of honour at the Aviva awards ceremony was Ireland head coach, Joe Schmidt.

Dunleavy, who is from Letterkenny, couldn’t attend the awards at the Aviva in Dublin due to school commitments and is pictured receiving his award from Ulster Bank Waterside branch manager Mark Linton.

Other Ulster winners included Stephen Irvine from Banbridge RFC who won Ulster Bank Division 2A  Player of the Year and City of Armagh RFC were awarded for their work off the field with Ken Redpath named Ulster Bank P.R.O. of the Year.

Dunleavy came through the ranks at Letterkenny RFC, but now plays for City of Derry.

The blindside flanker made his Ulster ‘A’ debut earlier this year in a game against Leinster at Bainbridge.
