Jersey giant Phillips joins Warriors

Warriors are delighted to announce the signing of Jersey Reds lock Pierce Phillips, who will join the Club ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.

The 24-year-old, who stands at a colossal 6ft 8in, has started in all 48 appearances he has made for Jersey to date. 

Phillips had spells at Darlington Mowden Park and in the Yorkshire Carnegie Academy before moving to the Channel Island and has also represented England Counties. 

Warriors Director of Rugby Gary Gold said: “Pierce is a promising young talent and he’ll provide stiff competition in the second row. 

“Having led Jersey in the Championship, he’s already shown he has leadership qualities and I’m sure he’ll be a fantastic addition to the squad.”

Phillips added: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Jersey but I’m looking forward to a new challenge with Warriors.

“Sixways has an incredible set-up where players have everything in place to reach their potential and that is exactly what I hope to do when I move to Worcester this summer. 

“The Club also have a great vision and I’m hoping I can play a part in helping them reach their long-term goal of becoming a top-end side.”
