would expect players like John Kelly, Oscar Stott, Tim cardall to be released
Always have been
(Just ignore all the loyalist plastic I somehow own)
Metcalf would be a good pickup for Wuss, covers 11-15
Well these are the out of contract players in the summer...i cant see many of them being retained if the Red Bull deal goes ahead.
Ben Stevenson is a must and some of the academy lads nailed down.
Out of Contract 2025 (Senior Squad)

Connor Doherty – Was here on loan, but hes been released by Sale so maybe coming back permanently.

Oscar Stott (A)
Jacob Oliver (A)

Some would have to be, surely?
An influx of cash doesn't mean there's suddenly an entire squads worth of players to hire, especially with Worcester getting a head start on the free agents (and sides like Tigers needing a number of players and getting a headstart too)
Cash from new owners takes a season or two before it starts really being felt
Ruaridh McConnochie and Louis Schreuder to retire end of season
Possibly, but Steve Diamond has said himself he is looking for around 20 players...that can only mean many of the soon to be out of contract players are not being renewed. I may be completely wrong but thats how it came across to me.
Where are you seeing retirement?
I've not gone hunting specifically, but the press release says "bringing their playing careers at the club to a close at the end of the season."
ETA: Okay, found it for Ruaridh - moving into coaching; but still not for Louis

Still really strange to think he went to a World Cup.

Parry feels like a miss, maybe Short

I think Coulston has already gone?
out of those circumstances depending I'd be looking to keep:
Bello
Byrne
Fletcher
2 of the 3 locks
Leatherbarrow
VDW
Hutchinson
Doherty
Clarke
Stevenson
Brown
And then maybe all of the academy lads bar Stott
Faiva and Stewart confirmed - 2 braces of departures today
www.bathrugby.com
Also confirms that Verden is off - but without the send-off (which he had last year, before returning to cover Griffin's injury)
Faiva and Stewart to leave Bath | Bath Rugby
The club can confirm that Hame Faiva and John Stewart will be leaving Bath Rugby at the end of this current 2024/25 season.
Bath sign Chris Harris on a one year deal
That's surprising
Won't command the salary he once did, but still an international/lion
Guess they need cover with Ojomoh knocking on the England door, Lawrence a mainstay when fit, and Redpath made of particularly fragile wafer thin glass
Looks like it's using (some of) the injury dispensation cap for Lawrence
If that’s for next season does that mean Lawrence won’t be back any time soon? Feels like he’s always injured unfortunately.
