Warriors sign Saints hooker Matt Williams
South African-born Williams, who is English Qualified, played in the Sharks Academy and also trained with the South African Sevens before joining Northampton in 2013. He will join his new team from next season.
Warriors Director of Rugby Dean Ryan said: "Matt has been trapped at Saints behind the likes of Dylan Hartley and is eager to play regular first-team rugby.
"He is an ambitious young player who has been learning from England's captain and other international stars which will add further competition to the number two spot as we look to drive standards across the squad.”
Williams added: "I'm a big admirer of what Dean and the coaches are building at Warriors and the facilities and infrastructure are something any aspiring rugby player would want to be part of.
"Everything is in place for the Club to succeed and I can't wait to be a part of what I'm sure is going to be an exciting journey.”
