In a recent Bath rugby squad update for 2020 to 2021, Matavesi’s contract is extended for the next two seasons.

Bath rugby says the 29-year-old has made a clear impact in his short time with the club and his attributes will allow him to open up Bath’s attacking game in order to generate momentum and create tries.

Bath goes on to describe the Vanua Balavu, Lau lad as a genuine ball carrying threat, with the ability to run, pass and kick.
