Gone.

Guy Mercer is to leave Bath Rugby ahead of the 2018/19 campaign having been released from his contract.

Mercer made 123 senior appearances for the Club since making his first team debut in 2010. He was Todd Blackadder’s club skipper for the 2016/17 season but went out on loan to Ospreys for the whole of 2017/18.

Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder said:

“We have an extremely deep and talented range of players in the back row and it was clear that time on the pitch would be limited.”

“We’d like to thank Guy for the immense contribution he’s made during his time with the Club. Not only has he captained the team, he’s been hugely influential passing on his experience to an exciting crop of talent coming through in his position.”

Mercer added;

“I have had an incredible time with Bath Rugby and want to thank the players, staff and friends of the club that have made that possible.”
