Title-chasing Bristol have already began planning for the 2010-11 season by signing Fiji fly-half Nicky Little from Bath.

Bristol are currently top of the Championship as they look to return to the Guinness Premiership at the first attempt.

And the 33-year-old Little, who has fallen behind Ryan Davis and Butch James in the pecking order for the No.10 jersey at the Rec, will offer a wealth of experience for next season.

Coach Paul Hull said: "This signing is excellent news for the club.

"With Adrian Jarvis re-signing last month, and now with Nicky joining the club, we have strong threats in the number 10 position.

"Nicky will give Jarvis, who has been our number one fly-half, some much needed support next season and also bring a wealth of experience, which will benefit the younger players like Chris Ashwin.

"We all look forward to welcoming him to the club later on in the year."
