Bath prop Beno Obano has signed a new contract to stay with the Premiership club until the summer of 2027.

The 30-year-old has made 157 appearances since his debut a decade ago in 2015.

Obano, who has also been capped four times by England, has started nine out of 11 league matches this season, scoring two tries.

At the start of the campaign Obana said he believed he was playing the "best rugby" of his career.

"When you're working with, and for, great people, it makes decisions fairly uncomplicated," Obano said.

Head of rugby Johann van Graan added: "Beno has become such a consistent performer for Bath in the number one jersey.

"His power in the scrum and maul, along with his ability to carry the ball and his tackling, make him a huge presence in our team."
