Willison to swap Sixways for Bath at end of season

Worcester Editorial 15th Jan, 2018 Updated: 15th Jan, 2018   0

CENTRE Jackson Willison will leave Sixways at the end of the season in a move to Premiership rivals Bath.

The Kiwi has made 36 appearances for Warriors since moving to the club in 2016 from French Top 14 side Grenoble.

He made 22 appearances in his debut campaign at Sixways, making 18 starts in the Aviva Premiership.

The 29-year-old was a key cog in Warriors’ exciting backline which scored a club-record 56 tries in the league.




Born in Hamilton, New Zealand, Willison has a wealth of experience at the top level, having spent five seasons in Super Rugby, where he won the title with Waikato Chiefs in 2012.

Willison said: “I’d like to thank everyone at Sixways for their support over the past two seasons. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Club and wish Warriors the best of luck in the years to come.”


Warriors director of rugby Alan Solomons said: “We’re disappointed to lose Jackson but as always in rugby, players have to make the decisions they feel are best for them.

“I’d like to thank him for his efforts during his two seasons at Sixways and wish him well moving forward.”
