New loan star Willie Walker has vowed to add a new attacking dimension to Worcester Warriors after moving to Sixways Stadium.
Walker has arrived from Gloucester until the end of the season and is set for a home debut in the Guinness Premiership clash with Bath Rugby on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
The versatile back is keen to impress in his new surroundings and plans to make the most of his new challenge.
“I like to think I am an attacking player and I can add a new dimension to the side wherever I play,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge at Warriors and showing what I am capable of to the fans here. I plan to make the most of my time here to push the club up the league. I’m happy to play in whatever position they need me.
“The club has had a bit of an injury crisis in recent times so I can understand the need to bring someone in to make sure there is competition, cover and also help kick the side on.
The club has a very exciting back line with players like Chris Latham and Rico and I want to be able to add to that and make us really play using my experience. There is also Joe Carlisle here who is young player coming through so I want to try and help him learn too.”
Walker has also revealed he is keen to link up with the club’s Kiwi connection to fire the team up the league table.
He said: “I’m good friends with Rico Gear so I’m looking forward to getting in the same team as him and hopefully showing we can link up and play together.
“I also know Sammy Tuitupou well so it has been easy to settle into the club the first few days and try and make an impression in training ahead of the Bath game.”
