Wales lock Adam Beard signs new Ospreys deal

Wales lock Adam Beard has signed a new contract with the Ospreys. The Welsh region said that Beard had agreed terms on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old was part of Wales’ 2019 Six Nations title and Grand Slam-winning team, and he also featured for the British and Irish Lions against South Africa last summer, going on as a substitute in the third Test.

Beard, who has won 29 Wales caps, said: “We have a really good squad developing at the Ospreys, with a mixture of young exciting talent and some really experienced players who have done it at the highest level.
