Bath sign former St Helens winger Regan Grace
Former St Helens winger Regan Grace has signed a short-term contract at Gallagher Premiership club Bath.
The 27-year-old dual-code winger is currently recovering from an Achilles injury he suffered in August 2022.
Grace, who scored 88 tries in 143 appearances for St Helens, switched from rugby league to rugby union when joining Racing 92.
But he was injured shortly before arriving in Paris and did not play for the French outfit.
“The dual-code Welsh winger is on a short-term contract with the club and looking to return to full fitness in March,” read a Bath statement.
“He will be available for selection in Bath Rugby’s friendlies against Gloucester Rugby and Leinster Rugby.”
Blue Bulls utility forward Jacques Du Plessis and scrum-half Neil Le Roux have also joined up with Bath as part of their rehabilitation process.
Bath have agreed a provisional deal to keep Du Plessis until the end of the season should he return to full fitness, while former South Africa Under-20 international Le Roux joins from Blue Bulls in the United Rugby Championship.

Hopefully Joe stays where he is. That would mean Les, McKellar, larkham and Cron should as well. It’s the stability we need in the state programs. But, if Joe goes, RA with its current financial situation will be forced into promoting from within. And this will likely destabilise other areas.
To better understand some of the entrenched bitterness of those outside of NZ and NSW (as an example 😂), Nic, there is probably a comparison to the old hard heads of welsh rugby who are still stuck in the 1970s. Before the days where clubs merged, professionalism started, and the many sharp knives were put into the backs of those who loved the game more than everyone else. I’m sure you know a few... But given your comparison of rugby in both wales and Australia, there are a few north of the tweed that will never trust a kiwi or NSWelshman because of historical events and issues over the history of the game. It is what it is. For some, time does not heal all wounds. And it is still festering away in some people. Happy holidays to you. All the best in 2025.
