Jacques Boussuge has agreed terms to join Bath Rugby on a one-year deal.
Club chief executive Nick Blofeld told the Chronicle that the club had decided to sign the Frenchmen after head coach Steve Meehan became convinced he and the rest of the coaches could develop the 7s specialist. The 25-year-old spent three weeks on trial with Bath in August, playing in three warm-up matches. He scored twice for Bath United against Newbury in his final trial game.
"Jacques has accepted a contract and will be back in Bath in the next few days, " said Blofeld.
"The coaching team believe they can make him into an even better player and build on his existing talents. He's certainly got plenty of pace."
Blofeld said the club had been won over by Boussuge's attitude.
"Attitude goes a long way," he said. "He is massively enthusiastic about playing for Bath."
Blofeld confirmed that Boussuge, who has played for France 7s and Montpellier, was on an "initial" one-year deal.
