Josh Ovens is a rugby union player for Bristol in The Rugby Championship.
Education
Ovens was educated at the Preparatory School of Monkton Combe School, a boarding independent school for pupils up to the age of 13 in Combe Down, a village suburb of the city of Bath in Somerset in South West England, followed by Milton Abbey School, a boarding independent school in the village of Milton Abbas, near the market town of Blandford Forum in Dorset (also in South West England).
Career
He plays as a back-row. In 2008, he joined Bath, but enjoyed a spell on loan to Bristol in the 2011 Aviva Championship season, returning to Bath for the start of the 2012 season. Ovens re-signed with Bristol on a one-year deal, after the club facilitated his rehabilitation by allowing him to train with the squad, almost two years after recovering from a potentially career-ending back injury in 2012.
Ovens returned to the field against Clifton Reconstruction Finance Corporation in August 2014, for the annual pre-season friendly between the two sides.
