As revealed in The Rugby Paper weeks ago, Bath winger Tom Biggs has signed for Worcester Warriors.
Neil Fissler revealed on March 30 that the winger’s deal to switch code and join hometown rugby league club Hull FC fell through and that he was to join the Warriors instead.
The 29-year-old has scored 32 tries in 127 Premiership appearances during spells with Leeds Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons and Bath Rugby.
He said: “The situation with Hull FC was disappointing, but I’m excited about joining Worcester and hopefully helping them achieve their goals.
“I am excited about the challenge of joining Worcester. They are a very ambitious club but have not reached where they have wanted to be over recent seasons and I want to play a part in helping them achieve success.
“I am looking forward to working with Carl Hogg again who I worked with at Leeds and with my ex-Bath teammate Sam Vesty.
“When I met with Dean he was very honest about where the club were and where he wants to take it. He is also a fellow Staffordshire bull terrier owner and that was a deal breaker.”
Director of rugby Dean Ryan added: “Tom is an exciting player who has the ability to demonstrate flashes of brilliance and change the outcome of any match.
“He has been a consistent Premiership performer for a decade and when he became available to sign, it was an easy decision to make.
“His presence amongst our emerging backline will be invaluable to us next season, as will his experience of playing in a successful environment.”
