Sam Parry commits future to Ospreys

Ospreys Rugby have announced that Sam Parry has become the latest player to commit to the region, the fourth member of the senior squad to sign a new deal ahead of next season.

The hooker has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and he follows on from Welsh internationals Adam Beard and Owen Watkin, along with Olly Cracknell, in agreeing a new contract to stay at the Liberty Stadium.

Dan Griffiths, Rugby General Manager at the Ospreys, welcomed the news, saying:

“Sam is someone who has thrived in our environment, developing into an integral member of the squad. Hooker is a position where we have considerable strength in depth, with Scott Baldwin and Scott Otten also competing for the jersey, but Sam has risen to the challenge to establish himself as a key player for us.

“He has a great attitude and work ethic and is always keen to learn and improve. The challenge for Sam now as a senior player is to set the standards and lead from the front both on and off the field.”

With 10 tries to his credit, Parry remains the only forward ever to have scored a hat-trick for the Ospreys, having scored three against Zebre in the opening round of last season.
