Bath sign Great Britain 7s star

Bath have announced that Olympic medallist Ruaridh McConnochie will join the club next season.

The England 7s star, who won a silver Olympic medal with Team GB at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, will make the switch to the fifteen-man game after two seasons on the Sevens circuit.

Lightning-quick, powerful and agile, the versatile back had a superb debut sevens campaign, featuring in all but one of the tournaments on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, before taking his place with Team GB on the podium in Rio.

Having started his rugby career with London Scottish, the 26-year-old had stints with Nuneaton, Hartpury College and New Zealand side Rangataua, before signing for England 7s in 2015. He has also represented England at Students and Counties level.
