Bristol have signed Bath prop Mark Lilley until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old will be dual registered with his parent club, where he made his debut in 2009.

Bristol head coach Liam Middleton said: "Mark's an effective scrummager who will provide us with further options in the front row.

"The play-offs are a long and gruelling campaign and I believe Mark will contribute to the club during this period," he added.
