Bath sign former St Helens winger Regan Grace
By PA
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.

The banning of the croc roll will make carrying the ball into contact far more risky, leading to more kicking, and the change to the Dupont law will mean forwards have to do far more running than they do now. As a result I think there will be a rise of smaller, more mobile forwards who are strong defenders and strong over the ball like Kirifi.
