Bath sign England back Arundell from Racing 92
England back Henry Arundell will return to the English Premiership next season after agreeing a three-year deal with Bath, meaning he will be eligible for national team selection again.
The 22-year-old has spent the past two seasons with French club Racing 92 following the collapse of London Irish.
The boyhood Bath fan, who can operate at full-back or on the wing, has scored seven tries in 10 appearances for England.
The move means he will become eligible to play for England again -- English players based abroad are not allowed to play for the national side.
"Joining Bath will be a very special occasion for both myself and my family," Arundell told the club's website.
"We've been Bath fans for generations, ever since my grandparents, and growing up I spent many years in the stands supporting the team.
"Now, to potentially have the opportunity to wear a Bath rugby shirt is incredibly exciting."
