Janse van Rensburg agrees new Bristol deal

England international Benhard Janse van Rensburg has extended his contract with Bristol Bears, continuing his tenure at the Premiership club. The 29-year-old center, who joined from London Irish in mid-2023, praised the team’s playing style, calling it a perfect fit for his skills and growth.

His recent absence due to injury—sustained in a collision during Bristol’s win over Northampton—has delayed his return, with Pat Lam, the club’s director of rugby, indicating he may miss the next two fixtures but could be available for the upcoming match against Exeter Chiefs. This marks the third contract renewal for Janse van Rensburg with Bristol in just over three years, underscoring his commitment to the club since qualifying for England through residency in 2021 and making an immediate impact with a try on his international debut against Fiji.
