I am delighted that Rob has decided to extend his contract with the club. He is a very experienced Guinness Premiership player, who has also played European and international rugby and we looking forward to him making a large contribution going forward.

I am delighted that Joe Maddock has extended his contract with Bath Rugby. He has played particularly well in the second half of the season in a number of positions and he is a back-three player who should add some excitement to our game next season.

I have decided not to extend Mike Johnson's contract. Mike has worked hard as our quarterbacks coach for the last two seasons and we wish him the very best in the future.

I'm just delighted he's decided to stay,

Everyone is delighted for Marvin. He knows at this club it's every single week that the demands are on you to perform - and he's stood up to that.

I am delighted that we were able to finalize a long-term contract with Linus. Last season he proved himself to be one of the most promising riders in the German cycling scene. Linus fits perfectly into our concept. We are approaching the 2006 season with a fresh mix of young riders with potential and experienced pros capable of carrying the can in the big races.
