He has made a total of 52 appearances for the Bears and will remain at Ashton Gate until the summer of 2022.

"We're really pleased that Dave is continuing his journey with us," Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam told

"He has added real value and experience to our team and is a vital part of our senior leadership group."
