New Worcester deal for Michael Heaney

Editor

Michael Heaney has become the latest Worcester Warriors player to commit his future to the club after signing a new two-year contract.

The scrum-half, who joined Warriors from Doncaster Knights in the off-season, made his debut during September’s trip to Sale Sharks and has since acquitted himself well.

He was part of the Challenge Cup victories over Stade Francais and Ospreys in October and has been a regular in Warriors’ Premiership matchday squads.

He made his first Premiership start against Gloucester earlier this month and has racked up eight appearances for the club.

Heaney said: “I have really enjoyed challenging myself in the Premiership so I am very happy to be extending my Sixways stay.

“I have learnt a lot from the coaches and the other scrum-halves at the club since I arrived in the summer so I will be working hard to keep improving as a player.”

Warriors director of rugby Alan Solomons said: “Michael has shown that he can take the step up to Premiership rugby. He is a first-class bloke and an excellent team man, and he will no doubt continue to make a positive contribution going forward.”
