Donald to Leave Bath Rugby at the End of Season

Stephen Donald will be leaving Bath Rugby at the end of the season to join Japanese side, Mitsubishi Dynaboars.

Since joining the club back in 2011, the New Zealand born fly-half has gone on to make 31 appearances for Bath and score over 150 points.

After kicking the winning penalty in the World Cup final for the All Blacks in November 2011, Donald has firmly cemented his reputation for being able to control a game from 10 with his ability to get a backline firing.

Speaking of his decision, Stephen said: “I’ve had a great time with Bath, but feel it is time for a new challenge in a new league. I’d like to thank everyone at the Club and all the Bath supporters for all the support during my time here, and I’m really looking forward to doing all I can to help us end this season on a high.”

Bath Head Coach, Gary Gold, added: “Steve is a good footballer and is a great character to have around. He has brought a lot of experience to the squad in the last couple of years, and we wish him all the best of luck in Japan next season.”
