Sam Betty set to retire

Worcester Warriors centurion Sam Betty will retire from rugby at the end of the season when his contract at Sixways comes to an end. 

The flanker joined Warriors from Cornish Pirates in 2011 and has made 120 appearances during his time at Sixways. He was instrumental in the Club's promotion-winning Championship season in 2014/15, scoring 18 tries in 22 appearances. 

Betty was voted Players' Player of the Year in 2012 before being named True Warriors and Supporters Player of the Season in 2014.



Warriors Head Coach Carl Hogg said: "Sam is a player who has embodied the true meaning of the word 'warrior' and has produced whole-hearted performances every time he has pulled on the Blue and Gold shirt.

"He was an influential part of the squad during our successful promotion campaign and we wish him the very best of luck in the future.”

Betty said: "I have worked under some top-class coaches and played alongside some fantastic players during my six years at the Club so it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to call time on my career.

"As with all players, I have experienced some real highs and lows during my time at the Club and our Championship play-off win against Bristol in 2015 is something that will live with me forever.

"My work with Acorns has meant a great deal to me and I have met some wonderful families at the hospice since I started visiting in 2012. I plan to continue my work with the charity now that I'll have a little more time on my hands."
