The versatile Trimble, who plays on both the wing and the centre, has put pen to paper on a new deal that will see him remain with Ulster a further two years until the end of the 2012-13 season.
Ulster Director of Rugby David Humphreys welcomed the news and said: 'We're delighted that Andrew has chosen to continue and further his rugby career in Ireland.
'He's enjoying a rich vein of form, and as one of the senior members of the Ulster Squad he's played an integral part in the improvements we've made this season.
'As we saw from his performance last weekend against Teviso, he's certainly back to his best.'
Trimble, meanwhile, is only focused on playing rugby. 'We have some big games coming up, so I am really happy that I was able to agree my new contract before we went into the busy period,' he insisted.
'As well as the challenges we have in the Heineken Cup and Magners League coming up, I was conscious that I also wanted to concentrate on playing as well as possible here with Ulster so I can challenge for a place with Ireland ahead of the Six Nations and the World Cup this year.
'Our game this weekend against Biarritz is my first priority and everybody in Ulster Rugby is firmly focused on that,' he added.
