The announcement follows confirmation that fellow Ospreys captain Jac Morgan will also leave the club at the end of the season to join Gloucester.
Pathway product departs
A product of the Ospreys development pathway, Dewi Lake has made 71 appearances for the club and 26 for Wales, captaining his country on multiple occasions.
Head Coach Mark Jones said:
“Dewi is an incredible professional and has emerged as a key member of our leadership group in recent seasons. His contributions will be missed both on and off the field.
Similarly to Jac, the club put in a lot of hard work to try and keep Dewi, but this became increasingly difficult with the current landscape and uncertainty in Welsh rugby.”
“Special moments will live long in my memory”
Dewi Lake said:
“The Ospreys is a club that means a lot to me on so many different levels so making the decision to move was something that I spent a lot of time thinking over.
My whole career to this point has been with this team and there have been so many special moments on the way… Coming through the pathway, making my debut, the first time I captained the side and the friendships I’ve forged with players and staff, will all live long in my memory.”
