Bristol Bears have signed former Worcester Warriors back-rower Noah Heward on a two-year contract.

The 22-year-old, who can play across the back three as a winger or full-back, went on to appear 23 times for the club and scored six tries.

He has also represented England at under-18 and under-20 level.

Heward is the second ex-Worcester player to move to Bristol following the demise of the club, with forward Joe Batley also signing earlier in October.

“Noah is a talented player who is equally at home at full-back or on the wing,” said Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam.

“He is a fiercely ambitious young man with a great attitude and willingness to improve, and we’re pleased to be able to offer him this opportunity.”
