Worcester have made arguably the biggest signing in their two decades as a Premiership club by bringing in England winger Chris Ashton.
The 44-times capped international has signed for his fifth Premiership club following stints with Northampton Saints, Saracens, Sale Sharks and Harlequins.
Over the years, so-called rugby journeymen have received an almost cult status among fans. We all know ’em, we all love ’em.
So let’s take a look at some of the greatest mercenaries to hop from club-to-club:
Andy Goode - 5 (Leicester Tigers, Saracens, Worcester Warriors, Wasps, Newcastle Falcons)
Ryan Lamb - 5 (Gloucester, London Irish, Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers, Worcester Warriors)
Peter Stringer - 5 (Saracens, Newcastle Falcons, Bath, Sale Sharks, Worcester Warriors)
Tom Arscott - 5 (Bristol, Worcester Warriors, London Welsh, Sale Sharks, Newcastle Falcons)
Adam Balding - 6 (Leicester Tigers, Gloucester Rugby, Yorkshire Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons, Worcester Warriors, London Welsh)
Andy Gomarsall - 7 (Wasps, Bath, Bedford Blues, Gloucester, Worcester, Harlequins, Yorkshire Carnegie)

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
