Kepueli Tuipulotu agrees long-term deal with Bath

The club is thrilled to announce a contract renewal for Kepu Tuipulotu, keeping him at Bath Rugby until 2028.

Joining the Academy ahead of the 2024/25 season, Tuipulotu’s time at Bath has seen him make his senior debut for the club whilst also earning himself international recognition with England A. 

In a short space of time, Tuipulotu has also earned his first European appearance in the Investec Champions Cup, showing his skill at just 20 years of age. 

Committing his long-term future to Bath, the hooker will add to his 21 Bath caps for a further two seasons. 

Hailing from a proud rugby family, of renewing his contract, Tuipulotu said: “Renewing my contract with Bath is a massive achievement for me and my family. 

“Coming straight out of school and signing for Bath was a surreal feeling as these last two years I’ve been here I’ve learnt a lot. 

“I’ve loved playing at The Rec and I’ve really made Bath my home.”

Johann van Graan, Head of Rugby, added: “It’s great to see how Kepu has developed over the last few years. He is one of the most explosive players not just on the attack but also on the defensive side. 

“It’s been special to see Kepu develop not only as a Bath player but as an England A player and an international U20 captain. 

“Kepu is part of our family and we believe he will keep performing like a champion over the coming years.”
