Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones has announced that he has signed a one-year contract extension with the Welsh Rugby Union and Ospreys.

Jones, 35, led Wales to the Guinness Six Nations title last month and is clear favourite to skipper the British and Irish Lions in South Africa this summer.

Writing on his Instagram account, Jones said: "Earlier this year, I extended my contract with the Welsh Rugby Union and the Ospreys. I am really pleased to have done so and to continue my career with my region.

"In these very different times off the field and with rugby the focus on the field, I didn't feel the time was right to announce when I put pen to paper, but I am very pleased to extend my current contract for another year.

"I'm grateful that I get to continue to do what I love to do and to continue playing for the Os.

"I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during my career to date, and particularly through these difficult times."

Ospreys head coach Toby Booth, meanwhile, added: "His ability to deliver high performances throughout his career is what marks him out as such a world-class player, and it is great that he believes the Ospreys can deliver on his and the region's ambitions.

"This confirmation of his future plans, despite being agreed for a long time, shows the respect he has for all and not wanting speculation to hinder preparation for Wales and the Ospreys.

"This gives everyone an insight into the man behind the player."
