Yahoo Sports Wales hooker Lake signs new Ospreys contract
Wales hooker Dewi Lake has signed a new contract to stay at Ospreys.
Lake, 25, joins Ospreys and Wales captain Jac Morgan in committing his future to the Welsh side.
Lake captained Wales during the 2024 summer tour of Australia and the autumn internationals in Cardiff but is unavailable for most of the Six Nations because of a biceps injury.
"He's an unbelievable professional, that gives his all for the team every time he steps on to the pitch," said Ospreys head coach Mark Jones.
"When you have someone his size with his athleticism, that combines those attributes with a first-class work-rate and set-piece astuteness, you're left with an elite modern-day hooker, and that's what Dewi is.
"What sets him apart though, is his willingness to improve himself and everyone else around him.
"With so many promising youngsters in the squad at the moment, it's imperative we have difference-makers like Dewi at the club, giving them advice and helping them to get better every day."
Lake has played 59 games for Ospreys since making his debut in 2018.
"The atmosphere here is second to none and there are boys in this team I have grown up playing alongside," said Lake.
"There is a bright future ahead for this team, we're all buying into Mark's ethos for the team and we've got a quality group of youngsters coming through that are bringing a fresh energy for us every week.
"Off the pitch, we're all looking forward to the move to St Helen's next season as well, which will be great for everyone involved with the club."
