FORMER WALES INTERNATIONAL Gavin Henson’s troubled career path continues this week amid reports he was at the centre of a fight with his new team-mates in Bath city centre.

The Bath Chronicle this morning reports that police were called to an incident of “aggressive behaviour” at the Pig and Fiddle pub on Wednesday night, but were not required to attend as the group quickly moved away.

Witnesses told the Bath Chronicle the behaviour in the pub was “disgusting” and that Henson had been punched by a fellow player.

Henson’s move to the Premiership club was completed last month after an unsettled four-year period which has included unsuccessful stints with Saracens, Toulon and Cardiff before spending last season with London Welsh who finished bottom of the Premiership.

Bath chief executive Nick Blofeld said: “We are speaking to all those involved to clarify the situation. When we have all the facts, we will make any appropriate statement.”

The Daily Mail have uncovered this recording of the incident captured on CCTV.
