Rokoduguni extends stay with Bath Rugby
Bath Rugby are delighted to today announce that flying Fijian Semesa Rokoduguni has signed a new contract with the Club.
Having arrived part-way through this season, Rokoduguni has made a real impact on the Bath backline, scoring six tries in 13 appearances and slotting in seamlessly both on the wing and at centre.
A tank soldier of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards in the British Army who served with his Regiment in Afghanistan, Rokoduguni's remarkable development saw him win this season's Most Improved player award at the Annual Awards Evening earlier in the month.
Bath Rugby Head Coach, Gary Gold, said: "Roko is an incredible raw talent, and we've really seen how dangerous he can be in the recent months. He's developed a lot in his time here so far, has been a potent threat for us in attack and ruthless in defence. He has a lot more still to come, and we're very much looking forward to working with him to bring that out."
Rokoduguni's Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel 'Barty' Bartholomew, added: "As Roko's Commanding Officer, I am extremely proud of his achievements both on and off the rugby field over this last season at Bath Rugby. He remains a Lance Corporal in The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and has been an excellent ambassador for the Regiment and Army. We all look forward to watching him score many more tries at the Rec, as well as top scoring against the Navy next year!"

Bath coach Gary Gold's voice used to deter birds at the Rec
The voice of Bath head coach Gary Gold is being used to scare away a flock of birds that have taken residence at the Recreation Ground.
The club's groundsmen had stripped away last season's surface and replanted grass seeds, only for the birds to descend onto the pitch and eat them.
In an attempt to deter them, South African Gold has recorded a warning message to be played over the tannoy.

Stephen Donald departs Bath Rugby with only fond memories of Rec stay
For a player who came in for a fair amount of flak during his time at Bath Rugby, Stephen Donald insists he will leave the club with nothing but fond memories.
Having arrived at The Rec in November 2011 just weeks after kicking New Zealand to World Cup victory, expectations of the fly-half were sky high.
Although it would have been almost impossible for him to match his heroics with the All Blacks following his move from Super Rugby side Chiefs, many felt Donald failed to produce his very best for Bath.

Jonathan Joseph excited by Bath Rugby and England challenge
Jonathan Joseph says he “cannot wait” to get started at Bath Rugby – but he also has the excitement of an England tour to look forward to first.
The London Irish centre, who celebrates his 22nd birthday on May 21, is one of nine new signings who are heading to The Rec for the 2013-14 season.
But his efforts during the current campaign were recognised last night as he was named as JP Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s Series player of the season, 36 hours after being named in the England squad to tour South America.

Coaches stay optimistic despite defeat at Saracens ending Bath Rugby's Heineken Cup qualification bid
Mike Ford says Bath Rugby’s coaching staff are enthusiastic about the future of the club despite the Aviva Premiership final-day defeat at Saracens scuppering their bid to play in the Heineken Cup next season.
Bath needed to record victory at Allianz Park and hope local rivals Gloucester triumphed at Exeter Chiefs’ Sandy Park to climb into the required top-six qualification spot.
Gary Gold’s side were handed a 23-14 defeat as Saracens topped the Premiership regular season standings, however, while Chiefs shaded a topsy-turvy contest 40-39, meaning Bath finished one place short in seventh.
