Wasps have handed out a new contract to Levi Douglas, with the young second row doing enough to impress despite making just one appearance for the Gallagher Premiership side since signing a short-term contract.

The 25-year-old joined Wasps on a short-term deal back in August for the remainder of the 2019/20 season. Douglas has now put pen to paper on a deal to secure his longer-term future at Wasps, the club have confirmed.

The 6’5, 121kg second-row has made one appearance for Wasps to date, in the 54-7 win against Leicester Tigers in September.

The former Oyonnax forward also made 32 appearances for Bath, in a four-year stint in the west country.

Wasps Head Coach, Lee Blackett, said: “We are delighted that Levi has agreed to extend his stay at Wasps. He has shown his quality in training in the short time he has been with us and hopefully he will get more opportunities to show that quality on the pitch in the coming months.”

Levi Douglas added: “I am buzzing to have extended my time here at Wasps. It allows me to continue to be a part of the great journey this club is on. It’s also a great place for me to continue to develop as a player.”

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

Now you are just being a woke, jealous fool. With the way things are run in NZ, no wonder he couldn't make a success there. Now that he is out shining any other New Zealanders, including their star players, now he is bitter and resentful and all sorts of hate speeches against him. That is what the fans like you do. Those in NZ who does have enough sense not to let pride cloud their vision, is all saying the same thing. NZ needs TB. Razor was made out to be a rugby coaching God by the fans, so much so that Foz was treated like the worst piece of shitte. Especially after the Twickenham disaster right before the WC. Ad then he nearly won the WC too with 14 players. As a Saffa the way he handled the media and the pressure leading up to the WC, was just extraordinary and I have gained a lot of respect for that man. Now your so called rugby coaching God managed to lose by an even bigger margin, IN NZ. All Razor does is overplay his players and he will never get the best out of those players, and let's face it, the current crop is good enough to be the best. However, they need an coach they can believe in completely. I don't think the players have bought into his coaching gig. TB was lucky to shake the dust of his boots when he left NZ, because only when he did that, did his career go from strength to strength. He got a WC medal to his name. Might get another if the Boks can keep up the good work. New exciting young talent is set to join soon after the WC as dangerous as SFM and Kolbe. Trust me, he doesn't want the AB's job. He is very happy in SA with the Boks. We score, you lose a great coach. We know quality when we see it, we don't chuck it in the bin like NZRU likes to do. Your coaching God is hanging on by a thread to keep his job🤣🤣🤣🤣
