Berry re-signs with Wasps
London Wasps revealed on Thursday the re-signing of scrumhalf Nic Berry, after another impressive season in the black and gold shirt.
Berry, 27, joined Wasps two seasons ago from Racing Metro and has become a key member of the squad – with 40 appearances. Berry has enjoyed a healthy tussle for the No.9 shirt with Charlie Davies and Joe Simpson this season and with the latter now cruelly ruled out with injury; the Australian scrumhalf will play an increasingly important role in the season run-in.
Berry said: “I am delighted to have renewed my contract with Wasps.
“Though we’ve had a tough season so far I totally believe we have the coaching staff and players to restore the club to where it should be. Both my wife and I have made some great friends through the club and we are excited to be extending our stay here in London.”
London Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “I have been really impressed with Nic this season. He is a talented number nine with a great attitude and I’m delighted that he’s staying here. We’ve got a pool of very good scrum-halves in place for next season and that competition for places is extremely healthy.”
Berry joins a growing list of players who have signed contract extensions at Wasps in recent weeks with Hugo Southwell, Tim Payne, Tinus Du Plessis and James Cannon all agreeing new deals.
