Dewi Lake: Wales hooker signs new Ospreys deal

by

Wales hooker Dewi Lake has signed a new contract to stay at Ospreys.

Lake, 25, joins Ospreys and Wales captain Jac Morgan in committing his future to the Welsh side.

Lake captained Wales during the 2024 summer tour of Australia and the autumn internationals in Cardiff but is unavailable for most of the Six Nations because of a biceps injury.

“He’s an unbelievable professional, that gives his all for the team every time he steps on to the pitch,” said Ospreys head coach Mark Jones.

“When you have someone his size with his athleticism, that combines those attributes with a first-class work-rate and set-piece astuteness, you’re left with an elite modern-day hooker, and that’s what Dewi is.

“What sets him apart though, is his willingness to improve himself and everyone else around him.

“With so many promising youngsters in the squad at the moment, it’s imperative we have difference-makers like Dewi at the club, giving them advice and helping them to get better every day.”
