Shane Williams missed Wales’ Six Nations defeat in France on Saturday<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Shane Williams is set to end his career at the Ospreys.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Wales winger says in his newspaper column that he will sign a two-year deal with the Welsh region which is likely to be his last. <\/p>\n

Williams has been linked with a move to France where fellow Ospreys James Hook and Lee Byrne are heading next season, while Gavin Henson is already there. <\/p>\n

“I’m going to finish my career in Wales by signing a new two-year contract with the Ospreys,” he told the Western Mail. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“That will be the last I sign as a player unless something extraordinary happens. <\/p>\n

“I did receive a bit of interest from France, and as a professional player you have no choice but to consider things like that. <\/p>\n

“But I never really wanted to follow the likes of James Hook, Lee Byrne and Gavin Henson by going out there. <\/p>\n

“Staying at the Ospreys, a team I love, was always my preferred option.” <\/p>\n

The British and Irish Lion, who has scored a record 53 tries in 79 Wales caps, will miss the Ospreys’ title push as he is expected to be out for three months. <\/p>\n

Williams said he suffered his knee injury in a challenge by Luke Fitzgerald in Wales’ 19-13 Six Nations win over Ireland in Cardiff, forcing him to miss the 2809 defeat to France on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Williams, who only returned from two months out with a shoulder injury just before the Six Nations, is now recovering from another long-term injury blow ahead of his planned international retirement after the Rugby World Cup this autumn.\n<\/p>\n
