Wasps and England scrum-half Joe Simpson has signed a new 'long-term' contract with the Aviva Premiership side.

Simpson has represented Wasps 105 times and has also won a solitary England cap. He joins the likes of Joe Launchbury, Christian Wade and Elliot Daly in penning a new deal with the Adams Park side and Simpson is relishing the chance to continue his career with Wasps.

"I am excited about the future that we have here on and off the field," Simpson said. "Some of our best players here haven't even reached their prime yet and we've got a squad who are nowhere near their peak yet and that's the reason I want to be part of it. I want to grow as a player with this squad and go and help Wasps to compete for honours again. Personally I also want to represent my country again and I believe this is a great place to help me to try and achieve that."

Wasps director of rugby Dai Young added: "I am very pleased that Joe is committing himself to club for the future. He already a very good player but I believe there is a lot more to come from him. We've got a core of young English talent here and Joe is at the heart of that. He's achieved a lot for his age but he's got the ability and talent to achieve lots more as a Wasps player."
