Wales second-row Luke Charteris is set to join Bath in 2016, according to fresh reports in France.

L'Equipe stated on Monday that Charteris, currently playing with Racing 92 in the Top 14 after previously turning out for Perpignan, is set to move on from Paris when his contract expires.

The 32-year-old impressed as Wales made the quarter-finals of this year's Rugby World Cup.

Charteris has reportedly signed a two-year deal to join Bath, who already have Wales fly-half Rhys Priestland in their squad.

Charteris spent 11 years playing for the Dragons before heading overseas and has won 62 caps for Wales since making his Test debut in 2004.
