BACK row duo Alafoti Faosiliva and David Sisi have renewed their contracts with Bath, the club announced this morning.

Faosiliva and Sisi joined Bath in 2013, while Academy lock Tom Ellis has joined Yorkshire Carnegie on loan for the rest of the season.

Head coach Mike Ford said: “We’re very pleased that both Alafoti and David have agreed to stay with us. They are class players, always very professional and are great guys to have in the squad.”

“Game time is hugely important, especially for young players. The loan move to Carnegie will be really beneficial for Tom, and we’re excited to see how he develops there.''
