Wales international flanker Dan Lydiate has agreed a new deal with the Ospreys.

The Ospreys have announced a two-year contract for Lydiate, who has won 64 Wales caps and played in three British and Irish Lions Tests.

“Signing a new deal gives me security for my family, and I am looking forward to where the Ospreys are now heading,” Lydiate told the region’s official website.

“I still think I have a lot of rugby left in me in an Ospreys jersey.

“I have had a tough couple of years with injury, and I am just enjoying playing back-to-back games.”
