England international flanker Ted Hill staying put
By Online Editors
Worcester flanker Ted Hill has extended his contract with the Gallagher Premiership club until the end of the 2021-22 season.
The 20-year-old’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of the current campaign, but the Warriors have moved quickly to secure his services for a further two years.
Hill, who has been capped once by England and came through the academy at Sixways Stadium, told the official club website: “It’s a really exciting time to be at the club.
“We have a good academy and it’s about developing homegrown players. It’s important to keep those guys signed up and to keep growing the club through our youth set-up.
“I’m honoured that the club have seen me as a key part of that and I am really pleased to be a part of it.
“But it’s not all about me, there is a lot of good young talent coming through and it’s about keeping those players and harnessing their abilities.”
Director of rugby Alan Solomons added: “It is absolutely brilliant news that Ted has committed to the club. He is a huge talent and is recognised as one of the outstanding young players in England.
“Ted has already this season cemented his place in our starting XV and it is but a matter of time before he regularly features in the England team.”

Go to commentsActually the era defining moment came a few years earlier. February 2002 to be precise, when Michael D Higgins as finance minister at the time introduced his sports persons tax relief bill to the dial. As the politicians of the day stated “It seems to be another daft K Club frolic born in Kildare amongst the well-paid professional jockeys with whom the Minister plays golf” and that the scheme represented “a savage uncaring vision of Ireland and one that should be condemned”. The irfu and Leinster would be nowhere near the position they are in today without this key component of the finances.
