Will Hurrell signs for Bath, sort of
Bath Rugby have confirmed the loan signing of Bristol Rugby centre Will Hurrell until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old showed his top flight quality with a number of stand-out performances for Bristol in the Aviva Premiership last year. A strong, abrasive ball carrier, Hurrell will link-up with Bath with immediate effect, after helping Bristol to an unbeaten start to their Championship campaign.
Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder, said: “We’re delighted to bring Will in – he showed last season what he can do in the Premiership, and I have no doubt he will show those qualities during his time with Bath.
“Will gives us that added depth in the midfield, which will be really useful as we approach a critical part of our season.”
The centre – who arrived at Bristol from Doncaster Knights – was one of their standout performers during the 2015/16 Championship season.
