FLY-HALF Jamie Shillcock has committed to Worcester Warriors by signing a new two-year contract.

Shillcock is another player who has come through Warriors' youth set-up that has put pen to paper.

And director of rugby Alan Solomons reckons the 21-year-old's deal "underscores the importance" of the club's academy system.

“Jamie is a talented young player who has already made almost 50 appearances for the first-team," Solomons said.

“In keeping with our vision Jamie is yet another player who has come through the ranks at the club."

Shillcock burst onto the first-team scene as a 17-year-old when he was called up to the matchday squad for Warriors’ Championship play-off semi-final against London Scottish in 2015, coming off the bench for his debut in the second leg.

He made his Premiership debut against Bath Rugby in September 2016, before starring a week later as he crossed the whitewash for two tries at Sixways as Warriors drew with Sale Sharks.

Shillcock, who joined Worcester's academy set-up at the age of 14, has already made 44 first-team appearances at the age of 21, racking up 131 points in the process.

He has also represented England Under 18 Counties and the England Under 19 Academies.

Shillcock said: “I have some great memories of being part of this group of players and I am delighted to have signed a new deal with the club.

“It’s nice to have the confidence from the coaches at a young age and I want to repay that confidence with my performances.

“Our squad depth is greater than ever and I’m looking forward to pushing on individually and as a team in the future.”
