Elvis Taione commits future to Ospreys

Former Tongan international hooker Elvis Taione, 38, has penned a new deal with his current club, Ospreys. 

Taione’s new deal will see him in the colours of Ospreys for another year. 

Taione joined the Welsh club last summer from English Premiership giants Exeter Chiefs. 

"The body feels good and the fire still burns and I have really enjoyed the boys and the environment at the Ospreys," Taione said. 

"I am still a competitive person and there is a real competition for places here and that drives me and the standards here. 

"All the things I heard about the Ospreys and Swansea are true and the desire among all the players here is to improve and to be the best we can be. 

"There are some really talented youngsters in the squad and giving them advice or guidance to help them develop has been one part of my role I have enjoyed."
