Bath head coach Steve Meehan has signed a two-year extension to his contract at the Recreation Ground.

The Australian has taken Bath to second in the Premiership but his deal was set to run out at the end of the season.

Forwards coach Mark Bakewell and defence coach Brad Davis have also committed until 2010.

"We are starting to see some great rugby from the players," said Meehan. "And I'm really enjoying that."

He added: "As a club we are having wins on and off the field and I believe that it is going to continue to be an enjoyable place to be."

Meehan took over as head coach when Brian Ashton left Bath to take over as England coach 18 months ago.

Davis has made a successful transition from league to union and made Bath one of the toughest defences in the league.

"I feel I am part of a club moving forward in every direction, " he added.
