Former England centre Jonathan Joseph has left Bath after 10 years to join French second division side Biarritz.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 32-year-old, who has also been capped by the British and Irish Lions, has signed a contract with Biarritz until 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Joseph joined Bath in 2013 from London Irish and made 176 appearances for the club, scoring 41 tries.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, since the arrival of director of rugby Johann van Graan, he was limited to 13 games last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joseph won the last of his 54 caps for England in 2020 and was part of the 2017 Lions squad that toured New Zealand. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I have many fond memories in the blue, black and white. Playing at The Rec in front of a sold-out crowd is not something every rugby player can say they’ve done,” <\/span>Joseph said in a statement.<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“But to have done it over and over again is just testament to the Bath rugby supporters’ loyalty as well as my coaches’ belief in me.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel it is the right time for me in my career to pursue new opportunities and see what else is out there for me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Graan added that Joseph would be considered a Bath “legend” for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He has achieved a huge amount in both his club career and on a Test match level,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
