The explosive winger was handed his Warriors debut in his first month at the club, coming on as a replacement at Wasps before making 15 appearances in his maiden season at Sixways.
Hammond then played a significant part in Warriors' British & Irish Cup triumph in 2014/15, scoring in the final, while also bagging a try in an impressive Greene King IPA Championship semi-final, as Warriors went on to secure promotion back to the Aviva Premiership at the first time of asking.
After seven tries in just 11 games during 2014/15, Hammond continued to compete for a place on the wing throughout the next couple of seasons, showing his finishing prowess when presented with opportunities, as he added 11 tries in 25 games across the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons.
He has continued his try-scoring form during this campaign, with six scores in 12 matches, and also picked up the Club’s October Player of the Month award.
Hammond, who represented South Africa Under 20's in 2012, said: “I’ve been here a long time now and Worcester has certainly become my home.
“The club is renowned for giving opportunities to young players and that was something that attracted me here in my earlier years and something which is still evident today.
“Now I want to push on and fight for my place in the first-team where we have some exciting and talented players all driving competition.”
Warriors Director of Rugby Alan Solomons added: “Dean is a tremendous athlete with raw pace and power.
“He has shown how lethal he is at finishing over the past few seasons and with him, Bryce Heem, Josh Adams, Perry Humphreys and Tom Howe vying for places on the wings, we have fantastic strength in depth.”

I think your ‘something to prove’ point is spot on. Ian McGeechan always used to say that Lions’ tours ‘made players’. Consequently, you’re looking for guys whom you sense will rise to the occasion and, perhaps, surprise themselves as much as anyone else. Should’ve put all this into the piece, shouldn’t I? Graham
Go to commentsMonths earlier, I’d sunk $156,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity, an online cryptocurrency investment promising sky-high returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowing, and the numbers kept climbing. But when I tried to withdraw my profits, the platform froze. Emails went unanswered, support chats died, and my “investment” vanished into the digital ether. I’d been scammed, and the sting of it burned deep.Desperate, I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest while scouring the web for help. Their site/reviews didn’t promise miracles, just results, specialists in tracking down lost funds from online scams. Skeptical but out of options, I reached out. The process started with a simple form: I detailed the scam, uploaded screenshots of transactions, and shared the wallet addresses I’d sent my crypto to. Within hours, they confirmed they’d take my case.What followed was like watching a high-stakes chess game unfold, though I only saw the moves, not the players. Alpha Spy Nest dove into the blockchain, tracing my funds through a maze of wallets designed to obscure their path. They explained how scammers often use mixers to launder crypto, but certain patterns like timing and wallet clustering, could still betray them. I didn’t understand half of it, but their confidence kept me hopeful. Hours later, they updated me: my money had landed in an exchange account tied to the scam network. They’d identified it through a mix of on-chain analysis and intel from sources I’d never grasp. After 24 hours, i got a message, my funds were frozen in the scammer’s account pending review. Alpha Spy Nest had apparently flagged it just in time. After some back-and-forth, the exchange with the help of Alpha Spy Nest reversed the transactions, and $145,000 of my original $156,000 hit my wallet. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, siphoned off early. I never met anyone from Alpha Spy Nest, never heard a voice or saw a face. Yet, their methodical precision pulled me back from the brink. My money wasn’t fully restored, but the recovery felt like a win, a lifeline from a faceless ally in a world of digital shadows.
