Worcester Warriors continue to strengthen their squad ahead of next season’s Champ campaign with the addition of two PREM forwards, prop Cam Miell and loose forward John Hawkins.

South Africa Miell, who can play both sides of the scrum, is already a familiar face to the Sixways faithful, having played 11 games for the Warriors whilst on loan from Leicester. He turns 22 on Saturday.

Educated at the renowned Paul Roos Gymnasium School, Miell made his senior Tigers debut off the bench against Bedford Blues in October 2023 in the PREM Cup.

Hawkins, 29, moves to Worcester from the Newcastle Red Bulls.

The former Northampton Saints academy member, who also represented Bristol Bears, made 35 appearances for Newcastle after moving there from Jersey Reds in 2023.

“I’m incredibly grateful to have played a small part during my time here at Newcastle,” Hawkins said.

“The club showed a lot of faith in me after Jersey went bust, and I’ll forever be proud to have represented the region. The club is in a really exciting spot, I look forward to watching it progress and I wish everyone at Kingston Park all the best for the future.”
