Attwood completes Bath move

Bath have announced the signing of international England lock Dave Attwood on a two-year contract from their Aviva Premiership rivals Gloucester.

Attwood, who is currently serving a nine-week ban after being cited for stamping in an Amlin Challenge Cup game just before Christmas, was capped by England during this season’s autumn Tests.

The 23-year-old has made 39 appearances for Gloucester, although his move down the M5 to Bath has been trailed for some time.
