Waller to join Worcester

Worcester Warriors have agreed a deal to sign Ethan Waller from Northampton Saints.

The loosehead prop will move to Sixways ahead of the 2017/18 season, replacing Val Rapava Ruskin who is to join Gloucester at the end of the current season.

Warriors head coach Carl Hogg told the club's website ''We are delighted to welcome Ethan to the club - a player who has won the Aviva Premiership title and experienced Champions Cup rugby.

''Ethan has been part of a successful Northampton side in recent seasons and has already gained huge experience at the age of 24.''

Waller came through the academy at Saints and has made 85 appearances for the club since his debut in November 2012.
