Warriors have secured the services of England international Ted Hill, who has signed his first first-team contract.
The 19-year-old back row, who is a product of the Warriors AASE programme and the Three Pears Warriors Academy made his full England debut in November – just eight weeks after appearing in the Gallagher Premiership for the first time.
Hill’s Premiership debut came at the end of September as he came on as a replacement against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road and scored two tries as Warriors secured a famous victory.
He has since become a first-team regular and has helped Warriors enjoy one of their best-ever starts to a Premiership season.
Warriors Director of Rugby Alan Solomons said: “Ted is a terrific young player who has shown maturity beyond his years.
“He has a fantastic attitude in training and this comes through on matchday. He has made swift progress since debuting against Leicester at Welford Road and is now a first-team regular.
“Ted thoroughly deserved his England call-up and it is a tribute to him that he has made his international debut at the tender age of 19. He is an integral part of what we are building at Sixways.”
