Worcester sign prop Jones and hooker Dickinson

Worcester Warriors have agreed a deal to sign Harlequins and former Sale and Scarlets prop Joe Jones and Nottingham hooker Jack Dickinson from the 2026-27 season.

Ex-Wales Under-20 tight-head Jones, 30, has spent most of this campaign on loan with Doncaster Knights in the Champ, featuring against Warriors twice in his 13 league appearances.

He returned to Quins in late February, playing in two Prem Rugby Cup ties and three league matches in the Prem – against Bristol, Bath and former club Sale.

Jones, who has also played for Coventry and Caldy said he was “grateful and excited” to get a chance to play for Worcester next season and was looking forward to “being part of something special in the coming years”.

Dickinson, 27, began his career with former top-flight club Wasps before moving to Nottingham where he has spent the past four seasons. He has scored 10 tries in 23 appearances in the Champ this season.

“Worcester is a club with a lot of history and an exciting future,” Dickinson said.

Warriors have made an encouraging return to professional rugby after three years away from the sport following a financial collapse that led to the club entering administration.

New head coach Matt Everard rebuild the squad from scratch last summer and has led Warriors into fourth in the Champ table with two matches to go.

They could potentially finish as runners-up to clear leaders Ealing but would have to beat Trailfinders, who have won all 24 games so far, on Saturday before their final match against local rivals Coventry on 9 May.
