Ospreys have signed a fourth Australian after it was announced fly-half Lawson Creighton will arrive in Wales for next season from Super Rugby side Waratahs.
Creighton, 27, joins Wallabies centre Lalakai Foketi and former Australia captain Liam Wright in signing for Mark Jones' side, with lock Ryan Smith set for his second season in Swansea.
Following Jack Walsh's departure to Montauban, Ospreys had been looking for a fly-half to complement Wales number 10 Dan Edwards.
"Lawson is a talented fly-half that can dictate the speed of the game and his versatility is something that will be invaluable for us," said Ospreys head coach Jones.
"With Dan Edwards on international duty with Wales and Jack Walsh departing, it was important to strengthen our ranks at 10 and bring in someone that with the ability to compete for the starting spot.
"Similarly to some of the other players we've brought in, we feel Lawson's experience in Super Rugby will be beneficial to our younger backline players and help them take their game to the next level."
Creighton, who can also play centre and full-back, joined Waratahs from Queensland Reds for the 2025 season.
"This is a great opportunity for me to test myself and join a team with a strong reputation of developing top-quality international players," he said.
"There's some impressive young talent in the squad already and when I spoke to Mark Jones, he was very clear about the project they're trying to build and where I fit into that.
"I'm looking forward to this new chapter of my career and excited to be a part of this group of players."
