Bath have announced that England back-row Ted Hill has penned a long-term deal at the club following his recent departure from Worcester Warriors.
Hill initially joined Bath on loan along with England centre Ollie Lawrence, utility forward Fergus Lee-Warner and front-row Valery Morozov but, like Lawrence and Warner, has now also signed a permanent deal with the Rec-based outfit.

The 23-year-old, who made his Bath debut in Saturday’s Premiership victory against Northampton Saints, came through Worcester‘s academy ranks but left the Sixways-based club when they were suspended from the Premiership.
Hill, who made his debut for the Warriors as an 18-year-old, is highly rated in England and has already won two Test caps after making his international debut against Japan at Twickenham in 2018.
Captained Worcester to first trophy
He also became Worcester’s youngest ever club captain at the age of 21 and under his guidance they won the 2021/22 Premiership Rugby Cup which was the first major trophy in their history.
Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan is delighted that Hill has committed his future to the club.
“Ted is an extremely diligent and talented young man,” he said.
“He is a fantastic athlete who offers great physicality in his ball carrying as well as in defence. His leadership in what has been a difficult period has been phenomenal and it will add huge value to our squad on and off the field.
“We are really excited to have him with us and I believe he will make a positive difference in the way we want to progress as a club.”
