Russell signs new deal at Premiership champions Bath
Scotland captain and British and Irish Lions fly-half Finn Russell has signed a new deal with Bath until 2028, the newly crowned Premiership champions announced on Thursday.
The 32-year-old kicked 13 points and added an impressive interception in Saturday's 23-21 victory over Leicester in the Premiership final at Twickenham.
The win was Bath's first Premiership title in 29 years and sealed a treble, with the European Challenge Cup and the Premiership Rugby Cup already secured.
Russell, who joined Bath in 2023, has made 45 appearances and scored 420 points in all competitions for the club.
"I have loved my time here at Bath," said the playmaker, part of the Lions squad for their upcoming tour to Australia.
"It's a great team and a great club. We've come a long way over the last couple of years and I am really looking forward to staying here and seeing what the club can achieve."
Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan, who has transformed the team side from rock-bottom finishers in 2021/22 to league champions, said: "Finn is one of the world's best 10s, a player who performs in the big moments and more importantly he's an incredible team man and a family man.
"He is one of the lads, his training is exceptional, and he's added so much to our group."
