Dan Robson has committed his future to Wasps after signing a new long-term contract.
The scrum-half is yet to be called up by England head coach Eddie Jones but Wasps rugby director Dai Young believes the former Gloucester player can still force his way into the Australian's plans.
"I am obviously biased, but if Dan continues to deliver the same level of performance for us, it can surely only be a matter of time before his England chance comes," said Young.
"Dan has been outstanding for us this season. His consistency has been really impressive, and when he is really on song he has the ability to frighten defenders.
"He has worked hard at his game over the last three years, and as a result is now one of the best scrum-halves in Europe.
"At 26, there is still plenty more to come from Dan, who like a number of our other English-qualified players should be a big part of our side for the next half-a-dozen years at least."
Former England U20s star Robson joined Wasps from Gloucester in 2015, and has since played 81 times for the Coventry club.
"I am happy to re-sign at Wasps where I have really enjoyed my first three seasons," said Robson. "It's very exciting to be part of what is shaping up to be a really good spell for the club.
"Like every player I very much want to be part of a squad that wins something and I believe I have every chance of doing that at Wasps.
"Dai, the coaches and the staff have all been fantastic to me and I'm really looking forward to working with them some more in the coming years."
