Attwood Returns to Bath

Bath have welcomed back Dave Attwood for the 2018/19 season after the second rower spent the last four months of the season on loan at Toulon.

The 31-year-old, who has made 136 appearances for Bath will return for pre-season training in what will be his seventh season in the Blue, Black and White.

Attwood impressed during his nine appearances for Toulon, so much so that the Top 14 side were eager to sign him.

“There were discussions with Toulon, but we always wanted to bring him back to Bath. He showed during his short stint there his qualities as a player, but we also know what leadership qualities he brings on and off the field too." said Director of Rugby Todd Blackadder. 

“Supporters know that at his best there aren’t many better players in his position, and his return will be almost like a new signing for us. With the likes of Dave, Roko (Semesa Rokoduguni), Sam Underhill, Francois Louw all fit and raring to go, we go into the campaign in a great position.”
