Worcester Warriors confirms England international as their first new signings for comeback season

“Firstly, I’m exceptionally excited to rejoin my first club—third time lucky! Back at a club which means so much to me, the place that gave me an opportunity as a 16/17-year-old. I want to be a part of their journey back to top-flight rugby, albeit slightly older and hopefully wiser!”

“It was a no-brainer to be part of what Christopher, Steve and Matt are building. I’m here to support them on and off the field. I know there’s a huge desire for professional rugby to be back in the city and it’ll be an honour to put the Blue and Gold back on.”

“Matt is a massive part of Worcester Warriors, and Worcester Warriors is a massive part of Matt. He knows and cares deeply about the Club, the city, and the fans.”

“Not only that, he’s a top-quality player who’s been in winning environments. He knows what it takes to win and what it looks like day-to-day. I know him well, I’ve worked with him before, and I can’t wait to welcome Matt and his family back home to Sixways.”
