Baker signs new deal with Ospreys

Ospreys Rugby have announced that Dan Baker has signed a new contract with his home region that sees him staying at the Liberty Stadium until the summer of 2019.

Baker came through the regional development pathway, with Ystradgynlais, his home club, from where he entered the Ospreys age-grade system, going on to play almost 50 times for Swansea.

The ball carrying number eight follows fellow back rower, Justin Tipuric, in committing his future to the Ospreys, the open side signing a long-term deal last week.
