Wales forward Davies signs new Ospreys deal
Versatile Wales forward Rhys Davies has signed a new deal to extend his stay with Ospreys.Davies, who can operate in the second row and back row, missed nine months of action due to a knee injury, but has been a pivotal figure for the Swansea-based region of late.Discussing his new deal, Davies said: "It's great for me to be continuing my career at my hometown club. "A lot of my best mates are here, some that I have grown up playing with, and I feel grateful to be sharing this experience with them."I had a long time out with the injury I had, but having the support of the boys, the staff at the Ospreys and my family helped me massively in getting back out onto the pitch.
"The next stage for me now is to keep putting in the hard work and helping to push the club back to where it should be. "This group is capable of doing something special, we all play for each other and that shows on a gameday."
Davies impressed as he scored a try during Ospreys' impressive 36-14 triumph over Scarlets in the last-16 of the European Challenge Cup last weekend.He has featured 69 times for Ospreys and made his international debut for Wales against Scotland in the 2023 Six Nations."I think I can speak for everyone at the club, and our supporters, when I say how happy we are that Rhys has committed his future to the Ospreys," said their head coach Mark Jones of the three-cap Wales forward."He had a tough time out with injury, but he was incredible on his return last time out. "That personified the work he's done behind the scenes to get back, and the work of our medical and strength and conditioning team."Rhys is a real difference maker for us, whether it's at set piece time, or in the loose, and he showed that on the weekend. "We're excited to see how he builds on that and by what the future holds with Rhys in an Ospreys jersey."
