Pierce Phillips signs for Warriors

Worcester Warriors have announced the signing of Jersey Reds lock Pierce Phillips, who will join the Club ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.

The 24-year-old has started in all 48 appearances he has made for Jersey to date.

"Pierce is a promising young talent and he'll provide stiff competition in the second row," said Warriors Director of Rugby Gary Gold.

"Having led Jersey in the Championship, he's already shown he has leadership qualities and I'm sure he'll be a fantastic addition to the squad.”

Phillips had spells at Darlington Mowden Park and in the Yorkshire Carnegie Academy before moving to the Channel Island and has also represented England Counties.
