Wales hooker Sam Parry has signed a new contract to remain at Ospreys.

The deal will take the 33-year-old into his 12th season with the Swansea-based team, for whom he has scored 43 tries in 168 appearances.

Parry, who has seven caps, is in the 2025 Wales Six Nations squad, but has yet to play in the tournament.

Ospreys head coach Mark Jones said Parry "is a real stalwart", adding: "He is one of the most consistent players in his position and someone than can be relied on in those big moments.

"The Ospreys were built on people like Sam, who turn up every day, give their all, and push everyone around them to be the best they can be. That's something we will always value."

Parry said: "Pulling the jersey on and representing the club and supporters means a huge amount to me.

"I'm really enjoying my rugby at the moment. It's hard not to with the group of boys we have here. Everyone is pulling in the same direction and we all believe in Mark's vision for the future of the Ospreys."

The length of Parry's new deal has not been specified.
