Webb re-signs dual contract
The news comes ahead of a crucial derby match for Ospreys against Newport Dragons on Friday.
Webb, a former Wales Under-20 International, made his debut for the Ospreys in 2007 having come through the development pathway and has made 122 appearances for the region to date, scoring 25 tries. He made his full international debut in 2012 and has gone onto make 16 appearances for his country.
"It is fantastic to see another Welsh international re-sign a National Dual Contract and commit their playing future to their region and in Wales. We are continuing to work closely with the Regions to ensure our top players remain in Wales and the signing of Rhys is further evidence of this relationship working," WRU Group chief executive, Martyn Phillips, said.
Webb could not contain his joy as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.
"I'm over the moon to have been able to re-sign an NDC. With this security, I can concentrate on my rehab without any distractions, knowing that I can put all my efforts into getting back out onto the pitch in the coming months and doing what I love doing the most, which is playing for the Ospreys.
"It's flattering to know that there's interest in me out there but this is my home region and I want to do all I can for the Ospreys, continuing to develop and, hopefully, play well enough to continue being selected for Wales," he said.
