Wales fly-half James Hook has re-signed for Ospreys in a deal which will keep him with the region until 2011.

Hook, 22, has won 15 caps for Wales and will be a key player during the upcoming World Cup in France.

“I am delighted to have re-signed with the Ospreys,” said Hook, who scored Wales’ try in their 34-7 defeat to France last weekend.

“This region is going to have massive success over the next few years and I want to be a part of it.

“I have grown up in the area, the Ospreys are my local professional side and I just could not imagine going anywhere else.

“We have facilities and a growing fan base that will rival any European side and this makes it a great time to be a player at this region.”

Ospreys director of rugby Kevin Hopkins added: “We are delighted to have secured another of our young key players on a long-term contract.

“James is a player of massive potential and this is becoming more and more evident with each match he plays for Wales and the Ospreys.

“It is great news for both Wales and our region that he is staying with the Ospreys.

“This is another key step towards us achieving our ambitions, both domestically and in cross-border competitions over the coming seasons.”
