England second row Dave Attwood has signed a new three-year contract with Bath.
The 28-year-old has made 113 appearances for the club since joining from Gloucester in 2011 and has won 20 caps for England.
Attwood believes Bath are heading in the right direction and had no hesitation agreeing a new deal.
"I'm thrilled to be able to put pen to paper for another three years here at Bath," said Attwood.
"I feel like this club has massive ambitions and is one of the few clubs in Europe that has the components in place to achieve them.
"Right now in my career I want silverware, and my belief in this team's ability to secure some was a prime reason why I wanted to stay put."
Bath head coach Mike Ford said Attwood, who won his first Test cap against New Zealand in November 2010, had been unfortunate not to make England's World Cup squad this autumn.
"Dave is a considerable asset to our team," Ford said.
"He was desperately unlucky not to make the World Cup with England, but we believe he's in the best place here at Bath to push on for further international honours, in addition to taking this team forward."
