After ten years at the club, Steve Borthwick has decided to leave Bath Rugby and make the move to Watford-based Saracens. “I have played for Bath Rugby since the beginning of my professional career and from the very start I was welcomed by everybody at the club, especially the tremendous supporters,†said Borthwick. “The club has a great history and is working hard towards a very successful future.â€
Confirming that his move was purely based on facing new challenges, Borthwick added, “after 10 years here, I feel that the time is right for a new challenge. A change in club provides that and I am excited about what the future holds.
“I am very confident that the excellent player group at Bath Rugby will get stronger and my commitment for the rest of the season will continue to be of the highest standard.â€
Head Coach, Steve Meehan, talking earlier today, is positive that the move will not impact upon the growing success of the club: “We need to concentrate on the remainder of the season. Steve Borthwick has committed himself to still playing hard for the club until the end of the season. At the same time, we have had considerable wins on and off the pitch and that will continue.
“Over the coming months, positive announcements will be made that will reassure fans that we will continue to move in the right direction.â€
Chief Executive, Bob Calleja, reiterated Meehan’s sentiments, demonstrating his confidence that the club is still moving in the right direction: “Naturally we are disappointed that he has decided to leave, especially in light of recent successes. The fact is the club is moving in the right direction and we thank Steve Borthwick for his commitment that he has shown in the past.â€
