Bristol prop Jason Hobson has signed a new deal to keep him at the Championship club until 2015.

The long-serving 30-year-old made his Bristol debut in 2003 and has now made 100 competitive appearances.

Director of Rugby Andy Robinson "Jason is one of the most experienced players in this squad and he's a good example to the young props coming through.

"Jason plays with his heart on his sleeve and shows passion for Bristol."

Hobson added: "I've spent the large majority of my career playing for Bristol and it's a club and city that is very close to me.

"We've had a difficult few years but there is real optimism that Bristol are moving forward now. I want to be a part of the exciting new direction and it's my ambition to represent this club in the Premiership again."
