James Phillips to join Sale Sharks at the end of the season

Bath Rugby has announced that James Phillips will leave the club at the end of the season to join Sale Sharks.

The versatile forward signed from Bristol at the start of the season on a one-year deal and has made 21 appearances for the Club, scoring one try.

“James has made a valuable contribution to the squad this season and has bolstered our options in the second row and back row with a number of players unavailable through injury or international commitments over the last six months,” said Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder.

“We’d like to thank him for efforts during his time here, and wish him and his young family the best of luck with his move to Sale Sharks.”
