Ospreys swoop for wing Vaughton

Jonny Vaughton started his career at Swansea

Wales under-21 winger Jonny Vaughton has joined Neath-Swansea Ospreys on a two-year contract.

Vaughton, 23, left Swansea for Cardiff Blues two years ago, but has enjoyed limited first team action at the Arms Park and has struggled with injuries.

Said Ospreys team manager Derwyn Jones: "Jonny is one of Welsh rugby's hottest prospects. His skills are perfectly suited to our open and exciting rugby."

"It's the perfect place for him to fulfil his potential."

Vaughton said he was relishing the challenge of making his name in the west Glamorgan side.

"The Ospreys are quickly becoming one of the most feared sides in Europe and trying to break into a team packed with so many international stars will be a massive challenge," he said.

"Nevertheless, I'm confident that I have the ability to succeed and can't wait to start working with the coaches and the rest of the team."
