Three Worcester players sign permanently with Bath, one set to leave

Three of Bath’s four arrivals from Worcester Warriors on short-term deals are set to make their move to the Rec permanent.

Ollie Lawrence, Valery Morozov and Fergus Lee-Warner have all signed deals to keep them at the Rec until at least the end of the 2022/23 season, SomersetLive has reported this morning.

However, former Worcester club captain and England international Hill is still understood to be leaving the door open for to explore other opportunities with both Bristol Bears and Exeter Chiefs reportedly keen on his services.

RUCK sources suggest Hill would favour a move to Sandy Park. The flanker currently has three weeks left on his four week contract with the black, blue and whites.
