ROOKIE Worcester Warriors' lock Christian Scotland-Williamson has been given the all-clear to return to rugby after a long-term pelvic injury.

The 22-year-old former Loughborough Students second-row has not featured for Warriors since playing 53 minutes against Moseley in the Championship in September 2014.

Scotland-Williamson also played at Bristol on the opening day of last season before injury struck.

But Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan said: “He (Scotland-Williamson) needed a final assessment by the original consultant who has now given him the all-clear to return to rugby which is great news for Christian because it has been a long wait.

“There was a fracture site which wasn’t healing at the pace in his pelvis at the pace it needed to so he’s had to wait quite a long time to get that bone growth.

“We are quite pleased Christian has got clearance and we can start the process of him being integrated back in.”
