England stars agree new deals with Bath

Bath have announced that Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson have both agreed long-term extensions to their contract that will see the England pair stay until at least 2019.
The dynamic pair joined Bath in 2013, making their debuts in the 21-0 win over Newcastle Falcons in the opening game of the Premiership season.
“I'm happy to be staying at Bath,” said Joseph. “My game has really progressed during my three years here, and I definitely feel as though I've matured as a player, so I'm looking forward to progressing further over the coming years.
“There's a positive vibe around the Club and within the squad for the upcoming season and we've just had a productive camp in Portugal. We're all excited about the season ahead of us – we're going to have a really strong coaching unit with Todd Blackadder and Tabai Matson joining Toby Booth and Darren Edwards, so as players we're ready to get going.”
Watson added: “It was a very easy decision for me to extend my time at Bath. I'm really settled here, but know at the same time that it's the perfect environment for me to keep developing and adding to my skills and my game.
“I'm looking forward to learning from Todd and Tabai when they arrive – they have so much experience of Southern Hemisphere rugby between them, and combining that with Toby and Darren's Northern Hemisphere experience will give me a great opportunity to add to my game.
“As a squad, we can't wait to get the season underway and build on the foundations we've laid over the last couple of seasons.”
First Team Coach Toby Booth commented: “I've known both Jonathan and Anthony for a long time now, and I'm really pleased they've committed the really important years of their careers to the Club.
“They are both exceptionally talented players who since gaining greater international experience are having much more of a positive effect on the group – both on and off the pitch. They are still young and will improve further over time whilst playing at Bath which is a very exciting prospect.”
