WITH Worcester Warriors’ Championship campaign finally concluded, the club have released their list of players who will be moving on to pastures new this summer.

The list totals 10 players and includes those who are either retiring, have opted to join a new club or have not been offered a new deal at the end of their contract.

They all contributed something to Warriors’ promotion-winning season and head coach Richard Hill has praised them all for their efforts.

Those moving on to new clubs are Callum Black (Ulster), James Collins (Sale Sharks) and Graham Kitchener, who hasn’t revealed where he will be playing next term, although it is widely believed he has agreed to join Leicester Tigers.

Veteran forwards Adam Black and Greg Rawlinson will both retire from professional rugby.

Will Bowley, Rob Higgitt, Oriol Ripol, Willie Walker and Andy Williams have all reached the end of their contracts and have been released.

Preparations are now under way for Warriors’ return to the top-flight and a place in the Aviva Premiership as head coach Richard Hill looks to develop and enhance his playing squad.

Hill said: “Every single player in the squad has played their part in a memorable and very successful season in the Championship.

“On behalf of myself and the coaching staff, I’d like to thank them for their efforts during their time at Sixways. They have all been true Warriors this season and we wish them well for the future.”

The new signings for next season that Warriors have so far announced are: Shaun Perry, James Percival, Ceri Jones, Chris Jones, Josh Drauniniu, Errie Claassens, Danny Gray, Ollie Hayes, Sione Tu’ipulotu and George Porter.
