Where to next? Gavin Henson has an unsure future.
The Ospreys will look to cash-in on Gavin Henson, should the controversial Welsh star seek a move away from the club, with several English Premiership clubs rumoured to be interested in acquiring his services.
According to the South Wales Evening Post, should the 28-year-old request for his contract with the Ospreys be ripped up, the region will demand a six figure compensation from his new employers.
Henson hasn't played since March 2009, but when he is in top form, he is a world class centre and a price tag of around £150,000 is expected to be placed on his head.
Premiership clubs Wasps and Harlequins has been suggested as possible admirers, you may look to lure him away from the Ospreys.
Henson is expected to make a comeback to the game this season, in a bid to be selected for Wales' World Cup squad, where he could potentially form a lethal centre partnership with Lions star Jamie Roberts.
A move away from the Ospreys will not be an easy decision for Henson to make, as the region has stood behind him through all his injuries and personal dramas.
He has in the past said quite firmly that he wouldn't want to play anywhere else, stating in 2008 that: "I wouldn't want to play my rugby anywhere else. I'm an ambitious person and I want to win things and the Ospreys share my ambitions."
However, Henson's personal life took a different twist this year, when his long-time celebrity relationship with singer Charlotte Church ended, which could prompt him to seek a fresh start to his life and rugby career elsewhere.
