Prop Warren signs new Ospreys deal

Ben Warren came through Cardiff Rugby's academy and joined Ospreys in 2021

Ospreys tight-head prop Ben Warren has signed a new contract with the region.

The 24-year-old former Wales Under-20 international has made 32 appearances for Ospreys since making his debut during the 2022-23 season.

Warren was added to Wales' Six Nations squad in January after WillGriff John was ruled out of the opening game through injury.

"I've had the opportunity to work with some quality, experienced front rowers and been coached by Dunc (Duncan Jones), who has played an important role in my development," Warren said

"There's some great competition at tight head and we all push ourselves in training, which is what you want. The next step for me, on a personal note, is to get as much rugby under my belt as I can and to keep improving."

Ospreys head coach Mark Jones said the region had "high hopes" for Warren.

"He's already beginning to show the qualities of a top-class tighthead and we're excited to see how he builds on that going forward," Jones said.

"I know Dunc sees Ben as a strong prospect in our front row, and I'm confident that he will continue to develop under his stewardship, as so many of our front rowers have in recent years."
