"Lee has developed over the course of the least season into a fully fledged international calibre player and we are delighted that Lee has chosen to get on board with the Ospreys. He played a prominent role in the six nations with Wales and is a full back of some considerable stature who will I am sure fit in well at the region. I am delighted that we have signed another top quality international who originally hails from within the Ospreys region"
