WING Bryce Heem has vowed to help bring ‘long term success’ to Sixways after agreeing to sign for Worcester Warriors.
The 26-year-old, who stands at 6ft 4in, will leave Super 15 giants Waikato Chiefs to join Worcester ahead of the 2015/2016 campaign.
The New Zealander has impressed during this season and scored a try on his debut during his side’s victory over the Blues in the first game of the season.
As well as making an impact in the 15-man game, Heem has also been an influential member of the New Zealand Sevens as he notably picked up a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games last summer.
Heem, who was a stand-out performer for Tasman Makos during their impressive 2013 and 2014 ITM Cup campaigns, said: “I am really looking forward to joining Warriors and linking up with my new teammates in England.
“I am excited about the prospect of joining a Club which is progressing rapidly and I look forward to being a part of the side and playing a role in the long-term success.”
Director of rugby Dean Ryan, who has also recently signed exciting wing Cooper Vuna, added: “Bryce has demonstrated his talents in a number of competitions and is now hungry to realise his potential at a club which has significantly changed its direction over the last 18 months.
“His season in Super Rugby has been a successful one and his presence at Sixways will give this squad another lift as we continue our progress.”
