Winger Tom Grabham has signed a new two-year deal with the Ospreys.
The highly-rated 23-year-old is now tied to the Welsh region until the summer of 2017 after continuing his rise through the ranks to take more of a regular role this season.
Grabham made his debut in the LV= Cup back in 2011 and has now made 34 appearances for the Ospreys, 15 of those coming in 2014-15.
He has also become part of the Wales set-up, having captained their Sevens side in the IRB World Series.
“I’m really pleased to sign for another two years. The Ospreys is my home region and I’m looking forward to the future," Grabham said.
“The main goal for me over the next two years is just to pull on the jersey as much as I can. It’s a competitive environment here and when you get the chance you’ve got to take it or you’ll find yourself out of the side.
“It’s an exciting time for the Ospreys, we are a young team but we’re ambitious about what we can achieve over the next few seasons and I’m happy that I’ll be a part of it.”
Ospreys general manager Andrew Millward added: "He’s a good, young, professional with the potential for considerable growth, and it’s great that the Ospreys will benefit.
“He’s now got a greater understanding of what is required from a winger at this level. He is learning how to make the kind of snap decisions that can change the outcome of games, and recently we’ve seen him become a big part of our attacking game."
