​French winger Jacques Boussuge has been invited to the West Country for a longer trial with Bath Rugby.

The 25-year-old, who has represented his country at 7s, trained with Bath during their pre-season camp in Provence last week and came off the bench during the loss to Pays d'Aix on Friday.

Bath chief executive Nick Blofeld confirmed to the Chronicle today that Boussuge, whose Top 14 career at Montpellier has faltered, would train with Bath for the next fortnight.

Following the 29-24 loss to Aix, Bath head coach Steve Meehan suggested that Boussuge was worthy of further consideration.

"Jacques didn't do anything wrong in the game," said Meehan.

"He's got great desire - he's very hungry and motivated. He speaks very good English so there's an immediate understanding."

Bath are light out wide following the summer departures of Joe Maddock, Michael Stephenson and Rhys Crane. The only replacement for them so far is Tom Biggs, who scored on Friday.
