Ten Bristol Bears players have extended their contracts with the Premiership club.
League top scorer AJ MacGinty, hooker Gabriel Oghre and prodigal prop Jake Woolmore are among those who have signed new contracts.
Bristol have made a strong start to the season with six wins from their first eight games and are tied with Bath at the top of the Premier League.
And the club delivered an early Christmas present to fans by announcing the renewal of 10 players.
Director of Rugby Pat Lam said: “We are building a team that can play the Bears way, adding players who have traveled for many years and some outstanding international players.”
“But the most exciting part is that we are bringing in a group of young, home-grown players who have taken their chances through hard work and a desire to do good things for their communities.”
The club did not disclose the length of the new contract.
