Donncha O’Callaghan signs new Warriors deal

The Worcester Warriors have announced that British & Irish Lion Donncha O’Callaghan has signed a new deal with the Club.

“Donncha is a phenomenon," said Director of Rugby Gary Gold.

"He must be one of the most professional rugby players in the world and the manner in which he prepares for matches, mentally and physically, is an outstanding example for any young player.

“We are delighted he has agreed to remain with the Club next season.”

O’Callaghan, 38, captained the side for the first time in January against Enisei-STM in the European Challenge Cup, and was soon handed the armband by new Director of Rugby Gary Gold in the Premiership, leading Warriors to a memorable win over Saracens in February.

Since taking over the captaincy, O’Callaghan’s Warriors have been on a remarkable run which has seen them rack up 17 points in seven games, including wins over Bristol Rugby and Bath Rugby.
