Dan Robson extends with Wasps

Wasps have announced that scrum half Dan Robson has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The 26-year-old No.9 joined Dai Young’s squad from Gloucester ahead of the 2015/16 campaign and has since made 81 appearances.

Director of rugby Dai Young said:

“Dan has been outstanding for us this season. His consistency has been really impressive, and when he is really on song he has the ability to frighten defenders.

“He has worked hard at his game over the last three years, and as a result is now one of the best scrum halves in Europe.

“At 26, there is still plenty more to come from Dan, who like a number of our other English-qualified players should be a big part of our side for the next half-a-dozen years at least.

“I am obviously biased, but if Dan continues to deliver the same level of performance for us, it can surely only be a matter of time before his England chance comes.”

Since joining Wasps, former England under 20 Robson has started a Premiership semi-final and final and also been part of the squad which reached a European Cup quarter-final then semi-final in consecutive seasons.
