Ospreys bring in Leonard

have today announced the signing of international Brendon Leonard on a three-year deal.
The -half, who won two Super titles with the in 2012 and 2013, will join in the summer from Italian side Zebra where he has spent the last two seasons.
He will link up again with his former provincial club coach, Chris Gibbes, the pair having worked together at Waikato's ITM Cup side for a number of seasons.
He said: “I'm really excited to be signing for the Ospreys. The thing that sticks out in my mind after speaking to everybody involved is that it's a club and an organisation with ambition and expectation, excellent facilities and high standards.
“Yes, I've got plenty of experience to call on, and I always want to use that to help my team mates, but I'm of the mindset that you never stop learning, wherever you are in life. What struck me the most is that the Ospreys is an environment where I'll be able to continue learning. It's something that is expected from everyone involved there.
“There's a hard working young coaching team, with strong and innovative ideas, and I'm looking forward to joining up later in the year and being a part of what they are building there. It's a good move for me professionally and personally, and hopefully, the team will continue to develop as they have this season.”
