Kieran Hardy the latest Wales international to make decision on Ospreys future

Wales scrum-half Kieran Hardy has signed a new deal with the Ospreys.

The 30-year-old has become the latest player to put pen to paper at the Ospreys despite the lingering uncertainty at the region with their owners, Y11 Sport & Media, expected to buy Cardiff.

While the Ospreys are set to say goodbye to Wales captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake at the end of the season, who have both signed for Gloucester in the Gallagher PREM, the region have retained the services of Dan Edwards, Morgan Morse and Harri Deaves on top of Hardy.

Hardy is in his second season at the Ospreys having joined from the Scarlets in 2024, and has made 30 appearances to date.

“I’m really happy to be continuing my career with the Ospreys,” Hardy said after the new deal was announced.
