Bath Rugby has proudly announced that prop Vilikesa Sela has signed a new contract, committing to his boyhood club until 2028.
With a proud Fijian and Army heritage, Sela began his rugby journey through Royal Wootton Bassett RFC and Beechen Cliff School before making his mark at Bath Rugby. At only 20 years old, he has already earned 14 caps since his debut against Leicester Tigers in September 2024. His rapid progression was recently acknowledged as he was selected for the England international squad for the 2026 Six Nations campaign.
Speaking on his contract renewal, Sela expressed his deep connection with the club: “Bath is home for me. From playing in the Academy to featuring in the senior team, wearing this jersey has always been an honor. I feel like something special is being built here for the future, so continuing my journey in the Blue, Black, and White is truly a blessing. Psalm 37:5.”
