He has gone on to make 10 appearances for the club, starting five times including three times in the league.

Bath have not disclosed the length de Carpentier's new contract.
"After being made redundant from England Sevens, I didn't know which way my career was going to turn," de Carpentier told the club website.
"It was an extremely tough period for me and my family. I was incredibly grateful to be afforded the opportunity by Bath last summer to show what I could do and whilst it's been a difficult season, I have absolutely loved my time at the club so far."
