The Ospreys announced today that Rhys Davies had signed a new deal to remain with his hometown club.
An impact player on both sides of the ball, Davies recently returned from injury and has received various plaudits for his performance in the Ospreys’ Round of 16 EPCR Challenge Cup win over the Scarlets last weekend.
Davies, who is a product of Penclawdd RFC, has made 69 appearances for the Ospreys up to this point and has been part of several Wales senior men’s squads, making three appearances on the international stage.
Equally adept in the second row or back row, Davies won more turnovers than any other player over the 2023 BKT URC calendar year and has shown all the signs of continuing that rich vein of form since returning to the fold.
Speaking on 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.”
Head Coach, Mark Jones, said: “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.
“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 S&C 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.”
Rhys will be rocking his hometown colours at St Helen’s next season, make sure you are too.
