Ryan Bevington signs a new one-year deal at Ospreys

Ospreys prop Ryan Bevington has signed a new one-year contract at the Welsh club.

Bevington,agreed a 12-month extension to his existing deal which was due to run out at the end of the season

The 27-year-old has struggled for regular first-team action over the past two years after suffering a groin injury in February 2014.

Bevington, who is now fully recovered from the injury, said: "The last two years for me have been difficult with my groin injury. Having another year gives me a chance to get back in the picture. I feel that I need to perform for the Ospreys now.

"There is fantastic competition here at loose head with Paul James, our leader, and then Nicky Smith and Gareth Thomas doing so well.

"If I can get back to where I need to be then we'll have four players all pushing each other who want to play regularly and that's good for the Ospreys and good for each of us as individuals."

The Wales international has played 112 times for Ospreys, scoring three tries.
