Second row rewarded with two-year deal

Second row James Goode has secured a new long-term deal to remain with the Ospreys. The 28-year-old initially arrived at the Liberty Stadium on a short-term deal during the 2009/10 season, with Goode handed a 12-month extension in the summer. However Goode has now put pen to paper on a two-year deal after impressing in his eight appearances for the region this season. Goode, who previously played for Cardiff Blues and New Zealand side Manawatu Turbos, told the official Ospreys site: "I really wanted to stay at the Ospreys, and for them to offer me this new longer deal is great news. "I came here originally on a short-term trial and was looking to make my mark. Although the aim was to try and earn the right to stay here beyond that, it's what I hoped for, I certainly didn't know that I'd be here as long as I'm going to be. "I must have made a good impression to be rewarded with the new contract, the next target is to get more game time over the next few years."
