Scott Johnson confirms that he is planning to leave his role as coaching director of Ospreys at the end of the season.

Ospreys coaching director Scott Johnson has confirmed that he is planning to leave the club at the end of the current season.

The 49-year-old, who has previously managed the United States of America national team, has been with the Swansea-based club since January 2009.

"I will not be looking to renew [my contract] at the end of the season," said the Australian.

"When I joined the region I had a remit to help set up systems that would enable us to bring through home grown talent, coaches and players, a challenge I've thoroughly enjoyed getting my teeth into over the last three years.

"I feel that now is the right time for me to move on to other challenges but I remain 100% committed to the Ospreys between now and the end of the season."

BBC Sport Wales has reported that Johnson has been offered a role to become part of the Scotland coaching staff.
