The 20-year-old, who progressed through the Bath Rugby Academy, has committed his long-term future to his boyhood club. Sela made his senior debut against Leicester Tigers in September 2024 and has since continued to establish himself within the first-team squad.

Sela’s progress has also been recognised at international level. The prop was called into the England squad during the 2026 Six Nations campaign, underlining his growing reputation in the Prem.

Born into a proud Fijian and Army heritage, Sela began his rugby journey at Royal Wootton Bassett RFC and Beechen Cliff School before joining Bath’s pathway system.

“Bath is home for me. From playing in the Academy to playing with the senior team, I’ve always seen it as a privilege to wear the jersey.

“I feel like something special is being built here for the future to come, so to carry on my journey in the Blue, Black and White is honestly a blessing. Psalm 37:5."
