Leinster favourite announces move to the Premiership

Done deal.

Premiership side Bath have this afternoon announced the signing of Ross Molony from Leinster Rugby ahead of the 2024/25 season.

His arrival on a three-year deal will see the towering forward commence training with the English club in pre-season this coming summer.

Molony made his Leinster debut whilst still on an Academy contract with the club, aged just 19, where he was named to play against Zebre Parma in February 2015.

Born in Dublin, the 6ft 6in lock has been with Leinster for the last decade, seeing him earn more than 175 caps for the Irish outfit and winning the Guinness Pro 14 league four times.

A renowned line-out caller, the lock has started Leinster last two Champions Cup finals against La Rochelle.

Molony went on to make his Champions Cup debut against Bath in January 2016, in which he was named Man of the Match, seeing him come full circle to join the Premiership club.

On securing this latest addition for the next three seasons, Bath head coach Johann van Graan said:

“Ross is a true professional and his journey in rugby is a testament to this.

“His work ethic and leadership are some of his key characteristics and I believe he will play a huge part in our journey in the next number of years. What struck me is the quality of a human being Ross is.”
