Rob McCusker re-signs with Ospreys

Ospreys Rugby have confirmed that experienced back rower, Rob McCusker, has signed a new two-year contract.

The experienced Wrexham-born Welsh international joined the Ospreys last summer having previously played for the Scarlets and London Irish and has quickly proven to be an influential figure in the camp.

Having missed most of the pre-season, he had to wait until the end of October for his full Ospreys debut, in the away win over Lyon, going on to feature 11 times over the next three months and captaining the team on three occasions. 

An ankle injury sustained in the bonus point defeat of Wasps at the start of February ruled him out for the season, by which time he had already earned an extended stay, keeping him at the Liberty until 2019.

With a wealth of experience to his name from a 13-year professional career, McCusker says he is thriving on being in a new environment.
