Former Worcester captain Ted Hill signs long-term deal with Bath Rugby

Bath Rugby have announced that England international Ted Hill has signed a long-term contract with the Gallagher Premiership club.

Hill made his professional rugby debut with the now suspended Worcester Warriors in 2017 after coming through their academy. He went on to become the youngest player to captain the club at the age of 21 replacing GJ van Velze.

Under his captaincy the club went on to win 2021/22 Premiership Rugby Cup but the club is now serving a suspension for the remainder of the season after entering into an administration.

He was amongst the three players who headed to the Recreation Ground on loan and has now signed a long-term deal. Hill has also played for England two times.

“Ted is an extremely diligent and talented young man,” Head of Rugby Johann van Graan said.

“He is a fantastic athlete who offers great physicality in his ball carrying as well as in defence. His leadership in what has been a difficult period has been phenomenal and it will add huge value to our squad on and off the field.

“We are really excited to have him with us and I believe he will make a positive difference in the way we want to progress as a club.”

Having registered their first win in the Premiership season last weekend, Bath now have climbed to the 10th place in the table.
