WORCESTER Warriors have released flanker Thabo Ndimande from his contract in order for the player to move closer to his family.
The South African proved an ever-present for Warriors last season as he played in all 29 of the club’s matches scoring four tries.
However, Worcester have confirmed the flanker will not return to Sixways for the 2026/27 season.
The club and Ndimande have mutually agreed to release the player from his contract.
Ndimande wants to move closer to his young family in South Africa.
Ndimande said: “I’ve absolutely loved my time at Worcester Warriors.
“From the day I arrived, I felt welcomed into a club with a proud history and an incredible community.
“It’s been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated players, coaches, staff, and supporters.
“Home and away, they were always there and loud. I’ve made memories that I’ll always treasure.
“I’m incredibly grateful for everything the club has given me and Worcester will always hold a special place in my heart.
“I look forward to the next chapter but I’ll always look back on my time here in Worcester with great pride and appreciation.”
Warriors head coach, Matt Everard added: “We are hugely thankful for Thabo’s contribution to the Warriors not just on the pitch, but also for his character within the group off the pitch.
“To move over to England at the start of the season and perform how he has is a credit to him as a person.
“Thabo will be missed at the club next season, by us as playing department but also by the fanbase – but we support his decision to go and be close to his young family and wish him all the best for his next chapter.”
