Bath Rugby Aims To Defend PREM Crown With Star-Studded Roster
Bath Rugby enters 2025–26 as defending Premiership champions with Finn Russell and Santiago Carreras leading another title push.
The Rec is buzzing again after a season Bath Rugby will never forget.
The 2024–25 campaign ended with a historic treble — PREM title, Challenge Cup and PREM Cup — cementing Bath as one of the most successful English clubs of the modern era. But in the Premiership, repeating success is never easy.
Rivals have reloaded, and Bath enters this season with expectations higher than ever, led by Scotland star Finn Russell, Argentine playmaker Santiago Carreras, and a forward pack brimming with international experience.

Bath’s history dates back to 1825, making it one of the oldest rugby clubs in existence. The club dominated the amateur era, transitioned with mixed fortunes in the professional years, and now stands atop English rugby once again.
With star power across the pitch and a trophy cabinet freshly filled, Bath fans are eager to see if their team can build a dynasty.
Bath Rugby Roster and Key Players
The 2025–26 squad features a balance of veterans and rising talent. In the forwards, Will Stuart (ranked No. 96 in FloRugby’s Top 100) anchors the scrum, while Thomas du Toit (No. 73) adds immense power at prop. Back-row stars like Sam Underhill and Ted Hill bring international pedigree.
The backline has even more firepower. Finn Russell (No. 16) remains the heartbeat of Bath’s attack, combining flair with newfound composure. He’s joined by Santiago Carreras (No. 97), one of Argentina’s most versatile backs, and England finisher Henry Arundell, whose speed makes Bath lethal in transition. Ollie Lawrence adds strength in midfield, while veteran scrum-half Ben Spencer provides stability.
