Bath have signed full-back Lee Best on a short-term contract from their West Country neighbours Bristol Shoguns,.
Best, who made 63 Bristol appearances in four seasons, will have a role to play during the autumn Zurich Premiership games, with a handful of Bath's backs headed for World Cup duty in Australia.
"Lee is a player who has considerable Zurich Premiership experience, and has also represented England at A level," said Bath head coach John Connolly.
"He joins us initially as World Cup cover, but there is also a view to extend that stay.
"I am sure that he will make a positive impact when the club is without the established international players."
