Bath Rugby have secured the services of two scrum-halves for next season following today's signings of Micky Young and Martin Roberts.
Young has represented England's age-group sides and played in three Churchill Cup campaigns with the Saxons, most recently in 2011. He will arrive at The Rec from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers this summer.
The 24-year-old also scored the winning try for England during final of the IRB London Sevens in 2008-09 against New Zealand.
Known for his darting runs and ability to read the game quickly, he made 79 appearances in three years with Newcastle Falcons before moving to Leicester in 2011.
Three-cap Wales international Roberts, 26, will switch from Northampton Saints. He offers a constant running threat, and is capable of beating defenders and gaining valuable metres.
He pulled on his national jersey at every school and junior level before winning his first senior cap against Canada in 2008.
Bath head coach Gary Gold said: "Micky and Martin are both very strong, capable players with good core skills and the ability to do things the opposition don't expect.
"They are still young and we are looking forward to having them join the squad here and seeing them develop further."
