Edwin Edogbo (born 21 December 2002) is an Irish rugby union player who plays as a lock for United Rugby Championship club Munster.
Edogbo was selected for the Munster under-18s Clubs team in 2019 after helping east Cork club Cobh Pirates to the Munster under-18s final. Additionally, Edogbo also represented the Ireland under-18s Clubs and under-18s Schools sides.[1] He began studying engineering at University College Cork in 2021 and featured for UCC in the early rounds of the 2021–22 All-Ireland League. Edogbo joined Munster's academy in November 2021, becoming the first player from Cobh Pirates to do so.[2]
Despite being injured, Edogbo was registered with Munster's Champions Cup squad in December 2021 following the disruption caused by the province's tour to South Africa the previous month.[3] After impressing during pre-season,[4] Edogbo made his senior competitive debut for Munster in round two of the 2022–23 United Rugby Championship against Welsh side Dragons on 25 September 2022, coming on as a replacement for Fineen Wycherley in the 57th minute in the province's 23–17 away defeat,[5] before making his first start for the province in their 31–17 home win against South African side the Bulls in round five of the URC on 15 October 2022.[6]
Edogbo started in Munster's historic 28–14 win against a South Africa XV in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 10 November 2022.[7] He signed a three-year contract with Munster in January 2023, the first year of which will see Edogbo remain in Munster's academy for the 2023–24 season before joining the senior squad on a two-year contract from the 2024–25 season.[8]
