'One of the world’s best 10s' - Finn Russell decides his future after Bath success
Bath Rugby have confirmed that Premiership-winning fly-half Finn Russell has signed a three-year contract with the club, keeping him in the blue, black and white until at least 2028.
With 45 appearances under his belt since joining in 2023, Russell has become a fan favourite at the Recreation Ground, scoring 420 points across all competitions, including four tries.
His impact on the club has been nothing short of incredible, helping take a struggling west country side from near the bottom of the table, to this year winning the Premiership.
The 32-year-old has had an incredible impact across all competitions this season, even helping guide Bath to Challenge Cup and Premiership Cup victories to ensure a historic treble.
Russell looks to the future
Speaking about his contract renewal, Russell said: “I have loved my time here at Bath. It’s a great team and a great club. We’ve come a long way over the last couple of years, and I am really looking forward to staying here and seeing what the club can achieve.”
“The fans have been outstanding since I got here. We’ve had some big results at home and that’s just our way of giving back to the fans and trying to represent them in the right way.”
“The way the club is developing and with the young players coming through, the belief and confidence that we’ve got week-to-week is just growing. There are some brilliant new signings coming in as well who will be great additions to the club, and I can’t wait to get started next season.”
Johann van Graan secures his man
On securing his man, head coach Johann van Graan said: “It’s amazing news. Finn is one of the world’s best 10s, a player who performs in the big moments, and more importantly, he’s an incredible team man and a family man.
“He is one of the lads, his training is exceptional, and he’s added so much to our group.
“It’s great that he’ll be staying on at Bath Rugby and continuing his journey with the Blue, Black and White.”
