A former England international joins Worcester Warriors as a player-coach.

As of now, there is no official announcement confirming that Worcester Warriors have signed a former England international as a player-coach. However, recent reports suggest that Owen Farrell, the England fly-half, is considering a return to England and may take on a player-coach role at Saracens, the club where he spent most of his career. Farrell’s potential return is linked to his struggles with injuries during his stint at Racing 92 in France, which have limited his appearances .

While this development pertains to Saracens, it highlights the possibility of former England internationals transitioning into player-coach roles in English rugby. If Worcester Warriors were to revive their operations, they might consider similar appointments to strengthen their coaching staff.

Additionally, former Wales international Ashley Beck has expressed interest in returning to Worcester Warriors in a coaching capacity if the club is resurrected. Beck previously served as the women’s attack coach before the club’s closure and has since gained coaching experience with Brython Thunder .

While these developments do not directly confirm a former England international joining Worcester Warriors as a player-coach, they indicate a trend of experienced internationals taking on coaching roles in English rugby, which could influence future appointments at the club
