Bath have bolstered their midfield options with the signing of Dan Bowden who will link up with the club in January.

Bowden, 29, has experience of the Aviva Premiership having played for both London Irish and Leicester Tigers and he also played for the Blues in last season's Super Rugby competition.

He can cover both fly-half and inside centre and will compete with the likes of George Ford, Rhys Priestland, Ollie Devoto and Kyle Eastmond for a spot in the side.

"I know what a tough, entertaining competition the Aviva Premiership is, so I can't wait to get back to England and get started with Bath," said Bowden. "There will be some familiar faces there as well, which is always good - guys like George Ford, who I played with at Tigers, and Toby Booth and Neal Hatley, who I worked with at Irish."

Head coach Mike Ford added: "Dan's versatility, goal kicking and experiences both in Super Rugby and the Aviva Premiership make him a very good fit for us. I've seen him play many times before and know his personality, so I'm confident he'll be a big hit at the club."
