Dai Young extends London Wasps contract

Aviva Premiership Rugby Club London Wasps have been given a boost ahead of the new season as Director of Rugby Dai Young has signed a contract extension.

Young is going into this third season at London Wasps and was last year shortlisted for the Director of Rugby of the Season award, recognising the strong role he played in steering London Wasps to a much improved season.

Young is enthusiastic about the future at Wasps following new ownership and the emergence of a raft of top young talent at the Club. Young said: “It’s an exciting time to be at Wasps and there’s a real positivity here about the future and where we are headed. “

“It’s been great to have lots of players committing their own futures to Wasps in recent months with new contracts and I am happy to do likewise. “

“New ownership under Derek Richardson has already had a positive impact and there’s plenty to look forward to here.”

London Wasps CEO Nick Eastwood added: “Dai has done a wonderful job in difficult circumstances over the past two seasons and we’re delighted that he’s signed a new contract. There’s a lot of excitement about what the future holds at London Wasps and Dai is a crucial part of that.”
