Wales fly-half Rhys Priestland signs new contract with Bath

Wales fly-half Rhys Priestland has signed a new contract with Bath.

Priestland has been in and out of the side since he arrived from the Scarlets in 2015 due to a number of injuries, while  England's George Ford is the club's first choice fly-half

But with Ford being reportedly linked with a move away from The Rec this summer, Priestland could play more regularly from next season.

Full-back Tom Homer and young centre Alex Clark have also signed new deals with the club.

Todd Blackadder, Director of Rugby at Bath, said: "Rhys, Max and Tom are all really integral members of the squad, and it's great news for the club going forward that they have agreed to stay here.

"They are all at slightly different stages in their careers - Max having just broken through into the first team, Tom is continuing to show his quality and consistency this season at full-back, whilst Rhys is a hugely experienced, world-class international who has been unlucky with injury this season.

"But they are really excited about the future with Bath."
