Gold looking to bolster front row stocks

Editor

Worcester director of Rugby Gary Gold is looking to sign a prop as soon as possible in order to strengthen his side's front row options.

Worcester's front row stocks have been depleted with an ankle injury to Nick Schonert ruling the tighthead out for three months.

Biyi Alo and Gareth Milasinovich are able replacements but Gold admits his side are still 'a little bit thin' in depth and he wants to push through deal as soon as possible.

“We are looking at one or two options to bolster us,” Gold told Worcester News.

“We are a little bit thin in the front row in terms of depth.

“I am happy with the guys that we have got, but we have got to be careful we don’t pick up another injury.

“We will be constantly on the lookout for opportunities.”

Asked if the search was going well, he replied: “I am hoping so.

“Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I am hoping that things can move quite quickly.”
