Flying Fijians flyhalf Nicky Little's chances of playing at the 2011 Rugby World Cup has increased after he signed a one-year contract with the Guinness Premiership club Bath.

Little played for Fiji at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France but was not able to play in the quarterfinal against South Africa after injuring his knee in a deciding match against Wales.

He is no stranger to the Guinness Premiership, however played for both Saracens and Sale Sharks and as Fiji's highest capped player, his expertise and experience will undoubtedly help Bath's European campaign get off to a good start.

Little has also made himself available for selection for the 2011 World Cup to be held in New Zealand.
