#1. Finn Russell to Bath
The 30-year-old will link up with the Blue, Black and White following the 2023 Rugby World Cup after a stellar four seasons at Racing 92.
Russell’s playmaking ability and excellent kicking game have seen him become one of the most lauded players in the northern hemisphere. He will join a Bath squad which has already seen recent recruits Ted Hill, Ollie Lawrence and Alfie Barbeary commit for the long term.
“Finn is a world-class player who will significantly add to our squad on and off the field,” Head of Rugby Johann van Graan said.
“To be able to attract players of Finn’s quality to Bath Rugby is a credit to how far we have come as a club and a group since 11 July.
“We look forward to welcoming his experience, leadership and expertise to the Blue, Black and White.”
