Stapley, 21, was born in Dubai and has spent the last two seasons playing National 1 rugby with Loughborough Students and recently earned selection for the England Students squad.

Worrall has made 23 appearances at wing or full-back during his first season with the Reds and scored eight tries, including a hat-trick in the recent win at London Scottish. The 24-year-old formerly played in his native South Africa for Western Province and Maties.
