Mears extends Bath stay

Lee Mears has signed a new four year deal with Bath, making it likely that he will finish his career with the only club he has ever played for.

The 29-year-old England hooker has already made 174 appearances for Bath and is delighted to have signed on for longer.

“We have produced a Bath team now that can really challenge for some silverware. We won the European Challenge Cup last season, and now we want to compete for the Guinness Premiership and the Heineken Cup.”
