Moving to Sixways: Warwick
Worcester have announced that fly-half Paul Warwick has agreed a move to Sixways Stadium from next season, switching from Stade Francais.
Warwick, currently playing in Paris, has put pen to paper on a contract that will see him add his vast experience and winning mentality to the squad.
The versatile fly half, who can also operate at full-back or centre, has enjoyed a stunning career in European rugby, starring previously for Munster.
The 32-year-old represented Manly in Australia and graduated through the ranks to represent his country at Sevens level before joining Connacht.
Warwick later starred for Munster in a glittering period between 2007 and 2011 as the club wonthe Heineken Cup in 2007/08 and were twice Celtic League winners in 2008/09 and 2010/11.
"Paul is a winner, very serious about his rugby and very competitive," said head coach Richard Hill.
"His attitude is absolutely spot-on for the culture we are developing at Sixways.
"I want players here with a winning mentality. That's not just a phrase you throw about; you have got to do something about it to achieve it. You have to study the game and your own performances to get better and truly push yourself.
"Paul wants to win rugby matches and that mentality and professionalism is massive.
"I want Paul to play outside half because he will bring other people into the game. Players will improve around him," added Hill.
"He can put people through holes, can beat defences and offload in the tackle. Everybody will be able to play off him and he is an unselfish player who will bring the best out of the Warriors.
"Paul is a versatile player and attack minded, he is someone who will look to really fire our back line."

Hopefully he will perform to his ability, unlike Goode - just a small question, how good is his goal kicking? Anyone know?
