WASPS have signed versatile forward Rob Webber for another two years, keeping him at Wasps until the end of the 2009/10 season.

Webber, just 21, is a hooker but has played successfully in the back row to cover for injuries and international call-ups.

He said: "I'm really pleased to be staying on at Wasps for another two years.

"I think I've developed a lot as a player since I came to Wasps, and I hope to continue that over the next two seasons.

"This is a club and a squad with a lot of ambition and I think there will be exciting times ahead with some good young players breaking into the first team - and that's something I want to be a part of.

"I'm lucky to have come through an excellent academy system, and the senior coaching team at Wasps are hugely helpful to all the young players looking to develop their ability.

"The opportunity to work alongside Raphael Ibanez, a world class player in my position, has also been hugely beneficial.

"My goal is to earn a place as a regular starter in the Wasps team. With the quality of players we have here, that will be a big challenge and there is some hard work ahead of me, but I'm looking forward to it and hopefully achieving my goals over the next two years."
