Thabo Ndimande to depart the Warriors

Worcester Warriors can today confirm that flanker Thabo Ndimande will not be returning to the club for the 2026/27 season.

Due to Thabo wishing to be closer to his young family in South Africa, both the club and Thabo have mutually agreed to release him from his contract.

In his season for the Warriors, Thabo featured in every game for the club across the campaign – crossing for four tries.

Warriors Head Coach Matt Everard commented, “We are hugely thankful for Thabo’s contribution to the Warriors not just on the pitch, but also for his character within the group off the pitch.”

“To move over to England at the start of the season and perform how he has is a credit to him as a person.”

“Thabo will be missed at the club next season, by us as playing department but also by the fanbase – but we support his decision to go and be close to his young family and wish him all the best for his next chapter.”

Speaking on his time in Worcester, Thabo said, “I've absolutely loved my time at Worcester Warriors. From the day I arrived, I felt welcomed into a club with a proud history and an incredible community.”

“It's been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated players, coaches, staff, and supporters. Home and away, they were always there and loud. I've made memories that I'll always treasure.”

“I'm incredibly grateful for everything the club has given me and Worcester will always hold a special place in my heart.”

“I look forward to the next chapter but I'll always look back on my time here in Worcester with great pride and appreciation.”
