Of joining the club, Burgess said: āIām sad to be leaving the Dragons but I wish Head Coach Dai Flanagan and the team all the best. I hugely enjoyed my time in Wales and believe the Dragons squad is now well-placed to kick on and push up the United Rugby Championship.
āThe opportunity to join Bath Rugby was one I couldnāt turn down. Johann (van Graan) and I are very closely aligned in our beliefs around recruitment and retention, and I look forward to contributing to the process at Bath to ensure we continue to develop a talented squad capable of competing at the highest level in the Premiership and in Europe.
