England Under-20 prop Sela to stay with Bath

Prop Vilikesa 'Billy' Sela has signed a new deal with Bath. The 19-year-old is currently out for up to two months with a shoulder injury suffered during the Premiership Rugby Cup win against Bristol Bears last Saturday. Sela joined Bath's academy in 2023 and made his first appearances in the Premiership this season, coming on as a replacement in the wins against Leicester and Sale.

The tighthead prop started his career playing in the back row and has also represented England at under-20 level, as part of the squad that won the World Championship in South Africa in the summer. He had been called up to the England A side for their match against Australia A this weekend, before injury forced him to withdraw. He joins centre Louie Hennessey in extending his deal with Bath, although the length of the new contract is unknown.
