IRELAND and Leinster loosehead prop Cian Healy is being linked with a move to Aviva Premiership Worcester Warriors.

Healy is out of contract at the end of the season and believed to be considering an offer to join Warriors, on a three-year deal, according to the Irish Times.

But Warriors’ negotiations with the 28-year-old are not believed to be at an advanced stage.

Healy is also negotiating a central, international contract with IRFU and is dealing with the union.

Although he has 56 Irish caps to his name, Healy has had a tough time of things in the last couple of seasons, having recovered from an operation to a disc in his neck last May.

Healy has played nine Tests over the last two seasons, starting four of them, while making eight starts for Irish outfit Leinster in the same timeframe.
