Worcester Warriors are today delighted to announce that centre Jon Clarke is to join the club from Aviva Premiership side Northampton Saints from next season.
The talented midfielder, who has played for England Saxons, will make the switch to Sixways from the start of the 2012/13 campaign.
The 28-year-old, born in Sheffield, has played a total of 165 games for the Saints – including over a century in the top-flight of English rugby – and scored 32 tries.
Head Coach Richard Hill said: “We are very excited that Jon will be joining us next season. He is vastly experienced and has been playing at one of the top clubs in the country for many seasons.
“He is physically a very powerful man and has the ability to offload and break the advantage line. Jon is a multi-skilled player, as he can operate at 12, 13 or 15, and will add a great deal to our midfield options.
“He also has a superb attitude and is very highly thought of in the game as well as being a tremendous talent. He is very serious about his rugby and very serious and ambitious about bringing success to Sixways.”
