Bath lock 'happy to stay'

Grewcock: New deal

Danny Grewcock looks set to finish his career at Bath after signing a new two-year deal at The Rec.

The 35-year-old has played for Bath 174 times since signing from Saracens in 2001 - and he is excited at extending his contract, especially with a number of new players arriving at the club.

Grewcock, who has been capped 69 times by England, said: "I am pleased to be extending my contract. I feel that winning the European Challenge Cup was just reward for the players and the coaches at the club and also for the efforts I have put in during my time here.

"Hopefully that was the start of something good at Bath and I believe that the success has helped the club bring in new players of the calibre of Justin Harrison, Stuart Hooper and Shontayne Hape.

"From a personal point of view I am very happy to continue playing here."
