Huge congratulations to OV Jasper Spandler on being part of the Premiership Rugby Cup- winning Bath Rugby squad! 🏆💙

Bath Rugby ended their 17-year wait for silverware in style, claiming the 2024/25 Premiership Rugby Cup with a dominant 14-48 victory over Exeter Chiefs. This historic win marks a major moment for the club, and with Bath sitting top of the Gallagher Premiership and a Challenge Cup knockout game ahead, the team is pushing for even more success this season!

Jasper combined rugby development with higher education – a pathway encouraged by both Bath Rugby and Warminster School. He enrolled at the University of Bath and studied International Development with Economics, where he continued to impress on the pitch.

Jasper represented England at the under-18 level as a hooker​ and soon moved up to the England U20 squad, earning international experience while still a teenager. During the 2022-23 season, playing for University of Bath in the BUCS Super Rugby competition, he emerged as the league’s leading try-scorer with 15 tries​ – an unusually prolific tally for a front-row forward. His outstanding university performances led to a call-up for the England Students team (the national select team for university players) in 2023, marking him as a standout talent in the country’s next generation.

He also made his senior debut for Bath Rugby in 2022, and has been steadily gaining experience with appearances in cup and Premiership games. Each step – from Warminster’s rugby pitches, through age-grade international caps, to the professional arena – has been a natural progression built on hard work and solid foundations.

A fantastic achievement for Jasper and the entire squad—everyone at Warminster School is immensely proud! 🎉👏
