Wasps front row forward Tom Cruse has become the ninth player to commit to the Premiership club after signing a new deal.
The 29-year-old joined Wasps from London Irish in 2016 and has gone on to make 57 appearances to date.
Hooker Cruse joins front row teammate Kieran Brookes in re-signing with Wasps, meaning the club have secured new deals for Juan de Jongh, Jimmy Gopperth, Ashley Johnson, Tommy Taylor, Zurabi Zhvania, Simon McIntyre and Ben Harris.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young hailed the former Rotherham Titan for his hard work and commitment.
“Cruser is a fantastic person and a top player. He always goes out and gives you a 110 per cent and he’s been a consistently reliable performer in the Black and Gold,” Young said.
“He’s a very well-liked character within the dressing room and to have him sign on for his third contract at Wasps shows that this is a club he cares about and wants to be a key part of moving forward.”
Cruse added: “Wasps have been great to me and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first three seasons alongside some top blokes.
“There are a lot of guys who are all signing on the dotted line and we all want to help take this club to where it belongs at the top and locking horns with the very best in England and Europe.
“Personally, I want to be on the pitch at every opportunity, contributing wherever and whenever I can, and to win trophies in the years to come.”
