Jeff Williams extends contract with Bath Rugby

Bath Rugby have confirmed that Jeff Williams has extended his current contract with the Club until the end of this season.

Commenting on the news, Todd Blackadder, Director of Rugby, said: “Jeff is a fantastic character to have in the squad. He’s supported the squad in whatever way he can whilst he’s been injured, as well as helping out coaching some of the young Academy backs, and that positivity – as well as his ability on a rugby field that we’ll see soon – is a really useful asset to us.”

South African-born Williams qualified to represent England through his English father, having played for the Hamiltons club in Cape Town and for the Sharks Academy before a spell in France at Federale 1 side Chateaurenard in Provence. He joined England's training camp in early 2012 before being awarded a full-time Sevens contract.

He joined Bath Rugby from England Sevens at the start of the 2015/16 season.
