Bath bring back James Wilson

Bath have announced the re-signing of versatile back James Wilson, who joins the Premiership club on a contract until the end of the season.

Wilson made 20 appearances in Blue, Black and White in the 2017/18 campaign, and returns to Bath after recently playing in the Mitre 10 Cup.

“James plays with intent and can cover a number of positions across the backline,” said director of rugby Todd Blackadder.

“He will add much needed depth to our squad over the next six months. James arrives this week and I expect to see him train hard in order to make selection ahead of Sale. We are delighted to have him back.”

Wilson said: “To be back at Bath is absolutely brilliant – I cannot wait to put the jersey back on and get out there with the boys. I know how focused everyone at the club is on challenging for a place in the top four and I am excited to be part of that.”
