Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan has signed a new long-term contract with the Gallagher Premiership side as he continues his revival of one of English rugby’s most historic clubs.
Van Graan joined Bath from Munster in 2022 and guided the team to Champions Cup qualification in his first season. His new deal will see him stay in charge until at least the end of the 2029-30 campaign. The South African’s commitment is a huge boost to Bath’s long-term planning.
Van Graan’s side currently sit third in the Gallagher Premiership table after years of previous underachievement. Bath are in a good position for an end-of-season play-off spot.
Van Graan said: ‘I’m proud to be committing my future to this historic club and I am loving the journey we are on. Rugby is about people, purpose, creating memories and making a difference and my family and I are looking forward to our future in Bath.
‘I'd like to acknowledge and thank the board, staff, players, and supporters who together make Farleigh House and The Rec such special places. We are creating a unique culture with purpose.
