On 6 June 2014, Bell made his move to the RFU Championship as he signed a contract with Jersey.[3] However, after a month with Jersey, Bell was granted early release from his contract since a top flight club made an approach to him where he would officially move to Leicester Tigers.[4]

He joined RFU Championship side Ealing Trailfinders for the 2019–20 season.[6] In 2022 he played for Benetton in United Rugby Championship.[7][8] A move to Japan followed to play for Tokyo Gas before Bell retired from the professional game in 2024 returning to the UK and joining London Welsh Amateur playing at level 5 of the RFU pyramid.

After playing for England U18, from 2011 to 2012 Bell was named in the England U20 squad.
