A sad day for Worcester.
There’s been so many people to thank throughout my whole journey starting off with Chim Gale and Nick Tisdale who were my first coaches at Worcester and helped me not only to become the player I am but also the person I am. Also Alan Solomon’s who gave me my first 2/6

With such poise and elegance throughout all the highs and lows. To my team mates Thankyou for all the memories we have made together they will be times that I will never forget. Then finally to the fans of Worcester, this is obviously not where any of us wanted this to end…4/6

#TOGETHER “This is the darkestday for English rugby. We thought we could turn the tanker around but it’s ended up like the Titanic, sadly. The ship has sunk, the captains are nowhere to be seen. The RFU/PRL band played in the back ground. There are a privileged few who have jobs.
