Bath have signed former St Helens rugby league wing Regan Grace on a deal until the end of the 2024-25 season.

The 27-year-old joined Bath in February as he recovered from a long-term injury and played in two friendlies for the club in March against Gloucester and Leinster.

Grace ruptured his Achilles while playing for St Helens in August 2022 before switching to rugby union and joining Racing 92.

But he did not make an appearance for the French Top 14 side after a relapse of the injury in February 2023.

Grace’s deal with Bath includes the option of him staying for the 2025-26 campaign.

“Regan has impressed both on and off the pitch over the last few months,” said Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan.

“He has a clear point of difference in his play and that will be very valuable for our team. It’s great to have Regan on board.”

The Welsh-born back spent six seasons with St Helens during which he won three Super League Grand Finals and the Challenge Cup, and scored 88 tries in 141 games.
