Wasps have announced that Josh Bassett has become the latest player to sign a new contract with the club.
The 25-year-old winger was heavily linked with a potential move to Northampton Saints, but any chance of that deal has been put to death by this news.
“I’m really pleased to have re-signed at Wasps, I’m enjoying my rugby and being part of this great club,” said Bassett
“I feel I’ve really developed my game since arriving from Bedford and am looking forward to working with Dai and the other coaches to keep progressing.
“All the squad are working hard to build on the progress made in the last few seasons and I’m excited about being part of Wasps’ future.”
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 black-and-gold.
Bassett joined Wasps from Bedford Blues in 2013 after beginning his rugby career with Ampthill.
