Academy players Charlie Ewels and Tom Dunn have renewed their contracts to start as senior squad at Bath Rugby.
Ewels, 19, has enjoyed a meteoric rise this season which has seen the England U20s lock captain the first team and make his starting debut for Bath against European giants Toulouse.
Hooker Dunn, 22, has 22 senior appearances under his belt for Bath, including an eye-catching performance in last season's Amlin Challenge Cup final against Northampton Saints.
Bath Rugby head coach Mike Ford said: "These two players have shown how to make the step up to the first team.
"Their progress and development is indicative of how well our Academy system is working. They'll have big roles to play within the club in years to come."
Ewels said: "This season has given me more than I could have hoped for. My experiences in the first team, including making my first start for Bath in the Champions Cup, have only strengthened my resolve to be the best player I can be."
