Bath tie down Scotland flanker Josh Bayliss on long-term deal
By Josh Raisey
Bath flanker Josh Bayliss has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at the Rec until 2027.
The Bath academy product has made 110 appearances for the club since making his debut in 2016 against Leicester Tigers in the LV Cup. He has earned five caps for Scotland in that time after making his international debut in 2021.
The 26-year-old is capable of playing across the back row and has shifted into the second row for Bath before as well. On top of that, Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan even said that he has the ability to fill in across the back line, which is a level of versatility that is eagerly sought after by any coach.
This latest deal comes after a spate of re-signings at Bath in January, as the West Country outfit look beyond this season. Sitting in second place in the Gallagher Premiership and in the round of 16 in the Investec Champions Cup, Bath are having a strong campaign and will be able to hold onto the bulk of their squad for the succeeding seasons.
Bayliss said after signing: “I owe so much to Bath. The city, the club and most importantly the people.
“I’m very fortunate to be able to pull on the jersey that represents this. I’m privileged and happy to have the chance to do that for another few years.”
Van Graan added: “Speed is one of Josh’s main attributes. The fact that he can play across the back row, he’s a line-out caller and he can play across the back line if needed which makes Josh a true asset to our club. Josh is a key member of our journey on and off the pitch.”

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB
WhatsApp +15617263697
Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
