7:25pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

Ospreys centre Andrew Bishop has signed a new four-year contract with the Welsh region.

Bishop, 23, made his Wales debut during this summer's two-Test South Africa tour, and he follows the likes of Shane Williams and Gavin Henson in pledging his long-term future to the Ospreys.

Ospreys coach Sean Holley said: "Andrew got his reward for an excellent year when he was called up for the South Africa tour, and I am sure that the experience will be of immense benefit for him this season as he looks to push on to the next level."

He added: "The centre position is one where we have strength in depth, and I am looking forward to seeing Andrew providing real competition for the likes of Gavin Henson and Sonny Parker over the coming season and beyond."
