Ospreys winger Harri Houston has signed a new deal with the region, committing his future ahead of the club’s move to St Helen’s.
The 22-year-old has made nine appearances for the Ospreys since his debut in 2023, and won 16 caps for Wales U20, scoring 35 points.
The homegrown wing has been tipped by teammates as one to watch, and has shown flashes of that promise when given opportunities over the last few seasons.
Head coach Mark Jones said the club was very happy to be keeping another of its homegrown prospects. “He’s a talented athlete with a great head on his shoulders and we expect him to be an important Ospreys player in the years to come,” he said.
“We’ve already seen Harri produce some real X-factor moments, both in training and for Swansea in the SRC. If he can continue to do that whilst taking his gameday opportunities for us when they come, the sky is the limit for him at this club.”
Houston has been turning out for Swansea RFC in the Super Rygbi Cymru competition — at the St Helen’s ground his region will call home from next season.
The winger said the club meant the world to him. “It’s great to be able to continue my career here. I’ve been learning from some top quality back three players since I came through the system and I’ve taken a lot from that,” he said.
“The coaches here have put in a lot of work into my development, and I’ve seen my game grow massively over the last few seasons as a result of that. I’m keen to push on now and put myself in a place where I’m ready for as much game time as I can get next season.”
That game time may well be there for the taking. Fan favourite Daniel Kasende was among ten players confirmed as leaving at the end of last season, opening up opportunities in the Ospreys back three.
Houston’s new deal continues a busy period of squad-building at the region, coming days after hooker Ethan Lewis signed fresh terms.
The Ospreys will play their first season at St Helen’s in 2026/27, with the phased redevelopment of the historic ground continuing around them.
The club has not announced the length of Houston’s deal.
