Will Hickey captained Leinster U19s and played for Ireland U19s, impressed during a three-month trial in Wales before signing for the Liberty Stadium side.
Mike Ruddock, the Ospreys Development Director, identified Hickey as a player of real potential in the Leinster Academy and invited him for a trial at the regional rugby franchise.
An athletic and mobile forward, who can play across the backrow, Hickey has now entered the Ospreys Player Pathway Programme and will combine his playing career with studying engineering at Swansea University.
In March 2021, he signed a two-year deal with the Ospreys.
