Bath Rugby have extended the contracts of 15 players, including Austin Emens, Ciaran Donoghue and Arthur Green, who all have Premiership caps for the club.

Winger Emens has played for Bath nine times and in late April scored two tries against Newcastle in a high-scoring victory over the Falcons.

Also receiving new deals are Jack Bennett, Thompson Cowan, Harvey Cuckson, Ieuan Davies, Ioan Emanuel, Will Jeanes, Neil le Roux, Enoch Opoku-Gyamfi, Max Pearce, Jasper Spandler, Mikey Summerfield, and George Timmins.

The extensions are mainly for academy products and young players, all aged 22 and under, most of whom have only featured in cup competition so far.

"Our journey together at Bath involves every part of the club, from the senior squad through to the Academy and player development pathways," said head of rugby Johann van Graan.

"Supporting young talent with dedicated coaches and staff helps players reach their full potential, and I'm pleased these promising young men will keep growing with us in the Blue, Black and White."
