Any prospect of Eoin Reddan moving from Wasps to Leinster at the end of the season fell by the wayside today with the confirmation the Irish scrumhalf has signed a new two-year deal with the London club.

Reddan had indicated his intention to prolong his stay with the European champions earlier in the week, despite speculation to the contrary in the Irish media, and has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him in England until the end of the 2009-10 season.

The 27-year-old, whose game has flourished since moving to Wasps from Munster in 2005, was believed to have been offered a deal with Michael Cheika's side but refused to countenance a move when questioned about the possibility on Tuesday.

"'I am very happy with this decision (to stay at Wasps)," Reddan said today. "Since joining Wasps, the club very quickly became a home away from home for me, and there is something very special about the place.

"'I've learned a lot in the last two and a half years and I feel there is more to come, both in what I can learn and in what the team can achieve. Wasps have been very successful in recent years, but we remain ambitious to build on that success this season and in the future."

Wasps director of rugby, Ian McGeechan, added: "Eoin has become a very important part of what we do and how we do it - his all round game suits the way we play and the speed and quality of his passing has become a key factor in our approach to games. His game has come on hugely in his time with the club and he has become a very influential player."

Reddan, man-of-the-match against Italy at the weekend, will earn his seventh cap for Ireland when Eddie O'Sullivan's side travel to Paris this weekend.
