Ospreys hooker Ethan Lewis has signed a new deal with the Swansea-based region.
Lewis has made 13 appearances for the Ospreys since his debut against Connacht in the 2023-24 season.
Before joining the club, he spent two seasons with Saracens, making 25 appearances for the English side.
His new contract is the latest piece of squad-building as the Ospreys prepare for next season — and their move to a redeveloped St Helen’s.
Head coach Mark Jones said Lewis was a reliable presence around the squad.
“Ethan is a dependable player and a great character to have around the squad, so we’re delighted that he has signed a new deal with the club,” Jones said.
He said strength in depth was especially important in the specialist front-row role.
“With the specialised nature of the hooker position, it is highly important to have quality in depth and that is something we definitely have with our current crop of hookers,” Jones added.
Lewis said he was pleased to be staying at the club.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time with the club since I joined so I’m really happy to be staying here. There’s a great group of boys here and it’s great to be a part of that,” he said.
He said the move to St Helen’s was an exciting prospect for the squad.
“We’re all excited by what the future holds at the club, especially with the move to St Helen’s on the horizon, and I’m looking forward to contributing in whatever way I can next season,” Lewis added.
The Ospreys are due to move into the historic Swansea ground next season, following a phased redevelopment backed by £5.1m of Swansea Council investment.
Lewis’s new deal follows a busy recruitment period for the region, which has included new contracts for the likes of club stalwart Luke Morgan.
