The 44-year-old returned to the Blue, Black and White at the start of the season and has been part of a coaching group which has seen the team cross for 59 Gallagher Premiership tries in 19 games to date in 2022/23.
Having made 130 appearances in the club’s back three between 2004 and 2010, Maddock remains a club legend for his long-standing association with Bath.
The club said in a statement: “Everyone at the club would like to wish Joe and his family all the very best of luck for the future.

The 25-year-old, who has 14 caps for England, enjoyed a prolific loan spell at Ashton Gate between 2020 and 2021, scoring 18 tries in 19 matches and helping the Bears to a maiden European title and top spot in the Gallagher Premiership.

Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Max is already one of the top players in the Gallagher Premiership and he made a huge impact during his loan spell with us at the Bears. We are all looking forward to welcoming him back into our team again.
Malins added: “I’m delighted to have signed with the Bears. During my loan period, I was made to feel very welcome by the fans, thoroughly enjoyed my rugby and made some good friends. I look forward to returning and hope to carry on where I left off.”
