Jarvis(left) and Grieve have signed up until the end of the next season

Bristol back-row Iain Grieve and fly-half Adrian Jarvis have both extended their contracts at the club until the end of the 2010/11 season.

Grieve, 22, has been one of the most consistent performers this season while Jarvis, 26, has been an ever-present in Bristol's Championship side.

Coach Paul Hull told BBC Radio Bristol: "Iain is very quick and dynamic and is a very consistent performer.

"Adrian has grown with us and our attack has improved as he's improved."

Grieve joined Bristol in 2005 and has worked his way up through the Academy system and can play anywhere in the back row.

"He has a big future ahead of him and you never know, he might be playing international rugby in a couple of years," added Hull.

"Iain's relishing playing week-in, week-out and and he's very quick and very dynamic with a good aggressive streak to him."

Jarvis arrived at the Memorial Stadium before the 2008/9 season from Premiership side Harlequins and has formed a solid partnership with captain and scrum-half Jason Spice.

"This year he has nailed down the number 10 spot as his own so it's a good story for him this season and a good story for us," continued Hull.

Last week three more players committed their future to Bristol, with centre Junior Fatialofa, forward Jamie Phillips and prop Wayne Thompson all signing new deals.

Bristol are currently riding high at the top of the Championship, having won 10 straight league games and scoring 48 tries along the way.
