"Lee has developed over the course of the least season into a fully fledged

international calibre player and we are delighted that he has chosen to get

on board with the Ospreys. He played a prominent role in the six nations

with Wales and is a full back of some considerable stature who will I am

sure fit in well at the region. I am delighted that we have signed another

top quality international who originally hails from within the Ospreys
