FORMER Worcester players Tom Howe and Andrew Kitchener have become the latest to find new clubs following Warriors being liquidated last week.

Howe was the leading try scorer in the Premiership Rugby Cup last season and helped Worcester lift the trophy.

He and academy product Kitchener have both agreed to short-term deals at current Premiership leaders Saracens.

Both have been brought in to add cover for the next three-months but both also left Worcester with heavy hearts.

"The Worcester situation was heartbreaking and the club will always have a place in my heart," said Howe.

"This new chapter is one my family and I are so excited for and I can’t wait to put the shirt on for the first time."

Kitchener, who came through the ranks at Sixways, added: "I’m gutted to have left Worcester having come through the academy and been a part of the club for so long.

"However I’m grateful for the opportunity Saracens have given me to be part of such a successful team and I am looking forward to getting started and meeting everyone."

Director of rugby Mark McCall said: "Firstly, our thoughts are of course with everyone at Worcester Warriors during this very difficult time.

"We are excited to see the impact that Tom and Andrew can make in a Saracens shirt and with their experience I have no doubt that they will make the most of their time here."
