Bath back-row forward Ethan Staddon has signed a one-year contract extension to stay at the club until 2026.
Staddon has played 21 times for Bath since his debut in December 2020 and typically plays at flanker.
The 22-year-old has featured in all six of the team’s Premiership Rugby Cup matches this season, helping them through to the quarter-finals of the competition.
“Since seeing Ethan playing for the first time, I knew that he had some special abilities as a flanker,” said Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan.
“I am very excited about Ethan’s journey over the next year at Bath Rugby.”
Staddon is the seventh Bath player to agree new terms for next season and said it was a “privilege” to play alongside some of the best players in the world.
“I’m delighted to commit to a culture that pushes me to be the very best both on and off the field,” he said.
