Jack Willis signs new contract at Wasps

Wasps have announced that academy product Jack Willis has signed a new contract.

This extends the former England under 20 back-rower’s stay at the club he originally joined ahead of the 2015/16 season.

Willis made his first XV debut at Sale in November 2016 in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, with his Premiership bow coming later the same month also against the Sharks.

Since then his rapid development has seen him first join the senior squad, before quickly forcing his way into Dai Young’s matchday 23 on a regular basis.

As a result, 17 of his 25 appearances have been registered this season, culminating in back-to-back man-of-the-match winning displays in the Anglo-Welsh Cup against Leicester and during Sunday’s Premiership win over Harlequins.
