PROP Darren Morris has left Worcester Warriors by mutual consent after being released from his contract at Sixways.

Former Wales international Morris joined Warriors from Leicester Tigers in 2006 and made a total of 64 appearances for the club and scored two tries.

The 34-year-old front row, who successfully toured Australia with the British and Irish Lions in 2001, has now left with immediate effect.

Director of rugby Mike Ruddock said: "I would like to thank Darren for his efforts over the last three seasons at Worcester Warriors.

"Darren has worked hard to make a positive contribution at all times and his ability to play both sides of the scrum has been advantageous.

"We would like to wish him every success for the future and thank him for his service to the club."

Morris added: "I have had a very enjoyable last three years at Sixways and I leave the club with many happy memories.

"I would like to wish the playing staff every success for the future as they prepare for the 2009/10 Guinness Premiership season.

"Finally, I would like to pass on my thanks the wonderful supporters at Sixways for their support and backing during my time at Warriors."
