Bath Rugby can confirm that Anthony Perenise will leave the Club at the end of the season to join Championship promotion hunters Bristol Rugby on a three-year deal. The 31-year-old Samoan international Perenise, who represented Samoa in the 2011 World Cup and joined Bath in 2011, has made nearly 70 appearances so far for the West Country side.

Bristol Rugby say they have added firepower to the front row with the arrival of the prop from Bath ahead of the 2014/15 season.
