Leroy Houston returns to Bath Rugby on short-term deal

Bath Rugby fan favourite Leroy Houston has re-signed for the Blue, Black and White on a short-term deal.

During his original three-year spell at club from 2013 to 2016, Houston made 89 appearances for Bath, scoring 70 points in the process.

Houston left Bath to move to Super Rugby club Queensland Reds in the summer as he looked to improve his international career, but has now returned to Bath following the completion of the Reds' season.

Speaking about the move, Bath Director of Rugby Todd Blackadder said:

"We are very excited for Leroy to be coming back to the club for a couple of months to give us some cover whilst we have a few injuries, and we are really thankful for Queensland to let this happen.

"He's a fantastic character and a brilliant player. We know he'll settle straight back in and be a real asset for us."

Houston will be at the club until the end of October
