Josh Bassett re-signs with Wasps

Wasps have announced that Josh Bassett has become the latest player to sign a new contract with the club.

He joins Joe Launchbury, Elliot Daly, Rob Miller, Ashley Johnson, Tom Cruse and Alex Rieder who have all previously this season committed their long-term futures to the side.

The 25-year-old winger joined Wasps from Bedford Blues in 2013 after beginning his rugby career with Ampthill.

He won England under 20 honours in 2012 after ending a prolific campaign as the Championship’s top try--scorer with 14.

Since then he has made 65 appearances during which he has claimed 26 tries. Seven of these have come this term after he ended the previous campaign by appearing on the left wing in the Premiership final.
