While uncertainty remains over Walsh’s future, Ospreys received a boost on Wednesday with scrum-half Kieran Hardy signing a new contract with the region.<\/p>\n

The Wales international has impressed since arriving from Scarlets and establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.<\/p>\n

Jones said securing Hardy’s long-term future was a significant moment for the club.<\/p>\n

“He’s made a big impact since he’s come into the team. I think he’s scored 13 or 14 tries for us in a short space of time,” said Jones.<\/p>\n

“We knew we were signing a very good player when we got him through the door and that’s proved to be the case.<\/p>\n

“He’s added his own style to the team when he’s played, he’s pushed the other nines as well and he’s added to the mix that we’ve got.”<\/p>\n

Hardy had attracted interest from a number of clubs, but Jones believes his decision to stay reflects the direction in which the team is heading.<\/p>\n

“To keep a player of his quality, who was wanted by a lot of other teams\u2026 he’s an international at the end of the day\u2026 it speaks volumes about the team, his team-mates and the environment we’re trying to create here,” said Jones.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully that’s a good indication of the Ospreys and why he wants to stay.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
