Former Tigers academy product Humphreys extends stay at Worcester
By Online Editors
Winger Perry Humphreys has become the latest player to commit his future to the club by signing a new two-year contract.
Humphreys, 24, joined Warriors from Leicester Tigers Academy in 2014 and made his senior debut against Rotherham Titans in the Greene King IPA Championship later that year.
He made his 50th appearance for Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup win over Leicester Tigers at Welford Road in November and has scored 12 tries in 56 first team appearances.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract and to get it sorted early in the season, which gives you that bit of extra security and certainty” Humphreys said.
“It’s an exciting time to be involved with Warriors. We’ve got a lot of exciting talent coming through from the Academy and a nice blend of youth and experienced players.
“We’ve got real depth in the squad and there is strong competition for places in all areas of the team which means that you have to keep pushing yourself and improving.
“We’ve also got a home European Challenge Cup quarter-final against Harlequins to look forward to, we’re going well in the Premiership Rugby Cup and we are looking to push up the Premiership table in an exciting end to the season.”
Humphreys can also play at full-back and that versatility has made him an important member of Alan Solomons’ squad.
Director of Rugby Solomons said: ““Pez is a very talented young player who has played some outstanding rugby this season.
“He is a good all-round footballer with pace to burn and we are all delighted that he is staying put."
Humphreys is the 14th member of the current Warriors squad to sign a new contract in the past month and the second this week after Zimbabwe international prop Farai Mudariki, who penned a one-year deal on Monday.

Very naughty boy!
Go to comments"Interestingly its you who now seem to be renouncing the UEFA style points system, because you don't like the outcome of reducing URC representation."
No, as I have clearly written and no need to be a "mind reader" this time, I don't like the outcome that half of the teams will be from Top14...
"What about 4 each + 4 to the best performing teams in last years competition not to have otherwise qualified?"
Because I don't think that having the possibility of a team finishing outside the quarter finals to qualify automatically will be a good idea. I'd rather have a team finishing 5th in their domestic league.
"Or what about a UEFA style system where places are allocated to leagues on the basis of their performance in previous years' competitions?"
You mean like the option I suggested like 3 times now? 😜 That will lead to have half of team from top14 and the end of the tournament.
"There's no point including Black Lion if they're just going to get whitewashed every year"
I genuinely disagree with that. I do think it's a decent team and are not doing too badly in the challenge cup.
"Maybe the best placed non-Israeli team and the Russian winners could play off every year for the spot?"
Based on the current geopolitics I won't bet on this happening anytime soon 😉
