Rich Lane and Oscar Lennon: Bristol Bears sign pair on one-month deals
- Published
Scrum-half Oscar Lennon played in Bristol's Premiership Cup defeat by Worcester in November
Bristol have signed Rich Lane and Oscar Lennon on one-month contracts to provide injury cover.
Full-back Lane, 28, is the captain of Championship side Bedford, where he has played since 2017.
Scrum-half Lennon, 21, joins from Hartpury College and represented Bristol twice earlier this season in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
Bristol are without five scrum-halves as it stands, while their back-line has also been depleted by injuries.
Harry Randall remains with the England Six Nations squad while Andy Uren, Tom Whiteley, Max Green and Toby Venner - the latter two themselves recently signed to provide injury relief - are all out.
Full-back Charles Piutau and wingers Luke Morahan, Toby Fricker and Charlie Powell are also all on the sidelines.
Tenth-placed Bristol next face West Country rivals Bath away at the Recreation Ground on 5 March.
