Ospreys Lock James Fender Extends Contract After Breakout Season
Ospreys, Current Date
Ospreys lock James Fender has secured a new contract with the Welsh side, cementing his place in the team after an outstanding start to the season. The 22-year-old has made 15 appearances for the Ospreys, but his progress was halted when he sustained an arm injury against Perpignan in January.
“What is exciting is there is more to come from him once he is back from injury,” said Ospreys head coach Toby Booth, expressing his confidence in Fender’s potential.
The young lock spent time on loan at Cornish Pirates last season, gaining valuable experience that has since translated to his performances for the Ospreys.
Fender’s contract extension underscores the team’s belief in his abilities and prospects for future success. As he recovers from his recent injury, the promising player will look to build on his impressive start and continue making a significant contribution to the Ospreys’ campaign.
