Bristol back rower Steven Luatua has signed a new contract with the club to stay through the 2025-26 season.

Luatua is one of Bristol’s longest-serving players and is set to make his 150th appearance for the club this weekend away against Northampton.

The 33-year-old joined the Bears in 2017 when they were still in the Championship and was the first signing director of rugby Pat Lam made for the club.

“He’s been here as long as myself and he’s been brilliant,” Lam told BBC Radio Bristol.

“A lot of fans talk about him being the best signing and that’s on the work that he’s done on and off the field. He’s a fantastic leader and he’s captained the team 90 times, a high success rate.

“Everyone looks up to him, the referees talk highly of him, opposition have a lot of respect for him. It’s great that he’s continuing his journey with us.”
