Bath has announced that Scotland international Cameron Redpath has signed a contract extension.
Despite injuries limiting his contributions in the 2021/22 campaign, Redpath has been thriving under Head of Rugby Johann van Graan this season. The news comes just a week after it was confirmed that fellow Scotland international Finn Russell would be swapping Paris for Somerset after signing a purported £1 million a season deal with the Gallagher Premiership side.
“After a difficult couple of years with injury, Cam has shown how exciting a talent he is this season,” van Graan said. “He is fast establishing himself as an international standard centre with Scotland and is a key part of our midfield at Bath. He is always looking to better himself and we are delighted he will continue his progression with us.”
Redpath joined the club in the summer of 2020 and played a key role in the team’s run to the Gallagher Premiership play-offs. In the following season, he continued to perform well and was called up for the 2021 Six Nations, where he helped Scotland to their first win at Twickenham in 38 years with a player-of-the-match performance.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to extend my time here at Bath,” said Redpath. “I have absolutely loved every minute here so far and I’m starting to get into a rhythm of games which I’ve lacked over the past few seasons. I love it here; it feels like home. With the players and coaches we have here, I know it’s somewhere I can progress and take my game to a new level. I really want to succeed for the club, my teammates and the supporters, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
Redpath is the latest Bath player to commit to the club, following the recent contract extensions of Tom Dunn, Will Stuart, and Sam Underhill.
