Tipuric signs until 2020

Ospreys Rugby have announced that Justin Tipuric has signed a new long-term deal, committing himself to his home region until the summer of 2020.

The 27-year old flanker, hailed today as “one of the best sevens around” had 18 months still to run on his existing contract but the Ospreys have moved swiftly to secure his future for a further two years.

“It’s a good place to be at. It was an easy decision” said Tipuric.

“We are going in the right direction and I’m happy to sign for the team I support."

Tipuric became the 26^th Ospreys centurion when, again as captain, he helped the team to a 26-12 win over Munster at the Liberty Stadium in March 2015.
