Ex-St Helens flier Regan Grace is completing rehab with a new club after leaving rugby union side Racing 92.
FORMER St Helens flyer Regan Grace is currently recovering from a catastrophic Achilles tendon injury sustained while switching from rugby league to rugby union in 2023.
Grace, on the other hand, has not been working on his recovery with French club Racing 92, where he signed last year. Instead, the winger has returned to the United Kingdom and is being assisted by Bath Rugby, the same club where England hero Sam Burgess tried his hand at the 15-man code.
The 26-year-old suffered an injury setback in February, and Bath head of rugby Johann van Grann told Somerset Live that Grace’s predicament may potentially lead to a deal down the line.
“Regan came to my attention as a former league player. We aided him by providing medical advice, but there is no official agreement. He is a player with a lot of speed and a strong rugby background, from what I’ve observed. “We’ve been giving him advice and helping him with his rehab,” van Grann told Somerset Live.
“He has not been with the team, and it is not a team issue. If that grows into something more, we’ll see where it goes. At this point, it is a player who has had a very difficult situation with his injuries, and he came to my attention [via his ex-teammate Russell], and we had coffee together, and what a great man he is. If I can improve a player’s future, I always do. If anything comes of it, that’s great, but for the time being, we’re assisting him with his rehabilitation.
“He has had some serious setbacks in terms of his leg, so I wouldn’t want to speculate [about when he will play again], I would say he is still months away so from our side if we can help him, and maybe he does a few training sessions with us when that becomes a possibility and we will make our decisions along the line but at this stage, I have nothing more to report.”
