Bristol full-back Luke Arscott has signed a new two-year deal at the Memorial Stadium. Arscott, who joined the club from Plymouth Albion in the summer of 2006, has made 11 appearances this season, scoring three tries. He said: "I'm very happy. It's a real weight off my mind and I can concentrate on playing now. There's a good bunch of boys here and it's a great place to live. "I got off to a slower start than I would have wanted when I first joined the club but I've had a run in the side recently which has helped me and I think has helped the team as well. "Now I want to play my part in taking the club forward and, if possible, further my own international claims." Head Coach Richard Hill was delighted to keep hold of Arscott. "Luke is an outstanding young player with great potential," Hill said. "He has natural flair which is exciting to watch and as he gains further first XV experience, I am sure he will develop into a very fine full-back for Bristol."
