Bassett extends stay at Wasps

English winger Josh Bassett has committed his future to Wasps by penning a new deal with the club.

After joining Wasps in 2013, the 28 year-old has amassed a total of 132 caps, yielding 255 points.

“I am really proud to continue my journey with Wasps," he told the official website of the club.

“After eight seasons I still get excited every time I run out with the Wasps Jersey on and especially at the Ricoh Arena.

“I can’t wait to continue developing under our passionate coaching team. I have made some great memories and am looking forward to making many more.”

Bassett’s decision has delighted his coach, Lee Blackett:

“Josh’s passion for Wasps is infectious, not only is he one of the leading wingers in the Premiership, but he is also the ultimate club man,” Blackett said.

“He’s ones of our big standard setters on and off the field.

“He’s one of the first players on the training field and last off. He is there at the end helping put equipment away after training sessions or he’s the one organising socials off the field.

“On the field, even in the last 12 months we have seen massive improvements in Josh’s game, and we are all looking forward to seeing where he takes his game in the next few years.”
