Jonathan Joseph staying but Bath could lose another international
By Chris Jones
England international Jonathan Joseph is staying at Bath this season but Fijian international centre Josh Matavesi could still be off to Japan.
Director of rugby Stuart Hooper has clarified the situation after Joseph, 30, was linked with a move to Toulon while Matavesi, is interesting a number of Japanese Top League clubs.
Cornish-born Matavesi, who has won 24 caps for Fiji, would be signing for his seventh professional club having already appeared for Exeter Chiefs, Newcastle Falcons, Ospreys, Racing 92, Worcester Warriors and Bath.
Hooper told Somersetlive: “JJ [Jonathan Joseph] is absolutely fully committed. He and I have had a number of conversations. There was speculation in the press but JJ is absolutely committed to Bath and he is desperate to have a great season which is great for us. We are currently talking, me and Josh, about what the future looks like for him.
“There has been interest from elsewhere which is of interest to him as well. There hasn’t been any agreement yet so I can’t confirm either way whether he will or won’t be here but we are certainly in discussion about the terms in which he could leave.”
Scotland international Cameron Redpath is still recovering from knee surgery but Hooper is happy with other options that have emerged from the clubs younger ranks.
He said: “I am hugely confident about Max Ojomoh and Will Butt and whenever you have a squad you have got to make decisions to allow people to grow. What you don’t want to be doing is blocking people from growing.
“We have got Max who has been away with England and he has given himself a fantastic opportunity by going there and putting himself in a new environment where he has learned a lot of new things and shown what he can do.”

You’re talking about the English Premiership here Andrew, what do you think it is?
Go to commentsBeing an artist in New York, I rely heavily on online platforms to showcase and sell my work. One day, I was approached by a gallery claiming to offer international exposure for my art. They promised to feature my pieces in exhibitions and connect me with global buyers. Excited by the opportunity, I agreed to their terms, which included an upfront payment of $3000 to cover administrative fees. The gallery’s contact person stopped responding to my emails, and when I tried to visit their address, it turned out to be fake. I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker on ( Te le gram at muyerntrusthackertech ) I reached out to them, providing all the details I had: the gallery’s information, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to track the funds and initiate the recovery process. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $3000 to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only did I get my money back, but I also learned valuable lessons about verifying opportunities and being cautious with upfront payments. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks to them, I can now focus on creating and sharing my art without the burden of losing hard-earned money to scammers. Here is their mail for efficient resolution: (muyerntrusted(@) ma il - me(.) c o m )
