Bath Rugby have announced that back-row trio Matt Garvey, Leroy Houston and Guy Mercer have agreed to renew their contracts at the club.

Mercer progressed through the Aviva Premiership side's youth ranks before graduating to the senior setup in 2011, while Garvey and Houston arrived at the Recreation Ground at the start of last season.

"Matt, Leroy and Guy are all talented players and offer different qualities that give us a good variety and strength in depth in the back-row," head coach Mike Ford told Bath's official website.

"They are passionate about the club and committed to what we are trying to achieve here."

Bath are currently second in the top-flight table.
