Lane signs contract extension with Bristol Bears

Full-back Rich Lane has made 59 appearances for Bristol Bears

Bristol Bears full-back Rich Lane has agreed a contract extension with the Gallagher Premiership outfit which will keep him at the club for another season.

Lane joined Bristol from Championship side Bedford Blues in May 2022 after a successful loan spell and has made 59 appearances for the club.

Bristol director of rugby, Pat Lam, said everyone at the club was pleased that the 31-year-old would be able to "continue his impressive rugby journey with the Bears".

"He has been a consistent performer since he arrived from Bedford in the Championship nearly four years ago, making an impact for our team on and off the field," Lam added.
