Gutted Cook posts farewell message to Bath ahead of Bristol switch
Bristol Bears’ new scrum-half Chris Cook has said that he is gutted not to be able to finish his final season at Bath. The 29-year-old’s move to Bath’s West Country rivals was announced in May amid the Gallagher Premiership’s suspension as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the season set to resume in August, Cook’s contract at the Rec will have expired, meaning he will be with his new club. It’s a situation a number of players find themselves in.
In light of the circumstances, the ex-England sevens international took to Instagram to send a message to all of those involved with Bath, while sharing photos of his time with the club. He said: “As I will not get to pull on the Bath jersey one last time or get to say goodbye at the Rec, I wanted to give this message.
“I've been incredibly lucky to represent my childhood club for the last eleven years. It really has been an honour. I’m gutted that I wasn’t able to finish my final season at Bath. The Rec is such a special place to me where I have made so many amazing memories.
“To the supporters, thank you for always selling out the Rec no matter the weather or the result. You’ve made my time at the club all the more special and given me memories that will last a lifetime.

Obviously Borthwick is the problem. He's inflexible. It's his way or the highway. Trouble is he's going the wrong way.
