Bath second-row Dominic Day will leave the club at the end of the season to take up a contract in Japan. 

Day arrived at Bath from the Scarlets in 2012 and has since made over 100 appearances for the club and has also won X caps for Wales. 

"I've absolutely loved my time with Bath, and will be sad to leave," Day said. "This has been an incredible club to be part of for the last four years, and I'll be watching and cheering the team on from Japan.

"I'd like to thank all the people who I've played with and worked with, and the supporters of Bath, who have been fantastic.

"At this stage in my career, I just felt the time was right for a fresh challenge, and that will certainly be the case in Japan. In the meantime though, I'll be concentrating on doing everything I can to help the team get the results we want in the final two games of the season."

Bath coach Mike Ford added: "Dom has been a great servant to the club in his time here. He's a great player who you know will always give his all for you on the pitch, and is a brilliant character to have in the squad.

"We're sad to see him go, but understand the decision he has made. We wish him all the very best, and I'm sure he'll be a success in Japan."
