Head of Rugby Johann van Graan hailed the milestone moment:

“Our journey together at Bath involves every part of the club, from the senior squad through to the Academy and player development pathways.

“Supporting young talent with dedicated coaches and staff helps players reach their full potential, and I’m pleased these promising young men will keep growing with us in the Blue, Black and White.”
