French winger set to return home
David Bory has announced the European Challenge Cup final will be his last game in the blue of Bath.
The 31-year-old winger wants to return to his native France and has signed for former European Champions Brive on a two-year deal.
Bory will leave the Recreation Ground at the end of the season, and he hopes his luggage will contain one particular item - a European Challenge Cup winners medal.
"The city is lovely, the people are magnificent," Bory said. "I have made some good friends.
Hope
"When I came to England, I didn't speak English very well, but I have learnt many things which I will take back to France: the language, the mentality, the discipline, to work very hard.
"We have had some good and bad results: good in the European competitions - last season we made the semi-final in the Heineken Cup, this season a final which we hope to win."
Bory leaves having made 36 appearances ahead of the May 19 final, scoring six tries.
Bath head coach Steve Meehan paid tribute to the 31-year-old, and he hopes Bory can leave on the perfect note.
"We are really looking forward to seeing David go out on a high," he said.
"He has attracted the attention of the supporters over the last couple of seasons and I'm sure he'll carry their best wishes into the final game."
