“When I spoke to Toby in the summer, he outlined his plans and all of those plans are now in motion. As a squad we are making progress and I have been happy to play a part in that.

“It really was a no-brainer for me to re-sign and I am really happy I am staying here longer than I initially thought.

“I know what I can bring, have a lot of experience but I am also learning things at the Ospreys everyday. Despite the amount of time I have been in the game, it is constantly evolving all the time. You always need new challenges and new things to focus on and I have given my all to this.

“First and foremost, it’s about doing the job on the pitch, people wouldn’t listen to me if I didn’t do that. So my first focus is playing as well as I can and helping the team to function is part of my job.

“I know how important it is for younger players to have experienced players around them. I had that as a youngster and it really helped me to develop.”
