Five Wasps players extend contracts
Five players have committed their futures to Wasps, with Jake
Cooper-Woolley, James Gaskell, Alex Lundberg, Simon McIntyre and Will
Rowlands all having agreed long-term contract extensions.
Jake Cooper-Woolley joined Wasps from Cardiff Blues in 2013 & has become a key figure in Wasps’ pack with his performances at tight-head earning him another England Saxons call-up for the summer tour to South Africa.
James Gaskell arrived at Wasps ahead of the 2014/15 campaign and has impressed in the second row before a foot injury cut short his season.
England U20s prop Alex Lundberg, who was nominated for Wasps’ Academy Player of the Season, has been awarded a contract with the senior squad. Lundberg has had an excellent season on loan in the Championship, helping Bedford to reach the play-offs.
Simon McIntyre, who can play on both sides of the scrum, joined Wasps from Sale Sharks in 2011 and has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the club. Forming a strong loosehead trio this season with co-captain Matt Mullan and newcomer Tom Bristow, McIntyre has been at the heart of Wasps’ successful 2015/16 campaign, featuring in 25 out of 31 games.
Highly-rated second row prospect Will Rowlands, who is a graduate of Wasps’ Academy and Oxford University, spent the early part of the season on loan with Jersey, before returning to make seven appearances for Wasps.
