Wales international Gareth Anscombe has signed a one-year contract extension with Ospreys. The 31-year-old was named as the URC’s golden boot winner on Wednesday and he topped off a fine day when his new deal was announced. He has made 14 appearances for Ospreys since joining from Cardiff in 2019, with a number of injuries keeping him on the sidelines.

It wasn’t until pre-season 2021 that he returned from a two-year injury lay-off to make his Ospreys debut but he is now one of eleven players from the club named in the Wales squad for the upcoming three-match Test Series against the Springboks in South Africa this summer.

“The Ospreys are excited to announce fly-half Gareth Anscombe has extended his stay at the regional rugby franchise,” read a club statement. “Anscombe, 31, has signed a new one-year deal to stay at the Swansea.com Stadium.”

Anscombe added: “Getting back playing was my primary focus and with the help of my family, friends and the medical team and the strength and conditioning staff at the Ospreys, that was achieved.

“Towards the end of the recent URC campaign, I really felt I was making the contribution I wanted to on the field.

It’s been a tough road but to get back to doing what I love was always the target. Delivering Heineken Cup Champions rugby for a second season for the Ospreys shows the potential we have in the squad. We are all excited about what we can achieve next season.”

Ospreys boss Toby Booth said: “Gareth has shown real resilience, discipline and professionalism to getting back to doing what he does best is. The more he has played, the more you have seen him show the influence he can have on the team and the game.”
