Paddy Anson joins Worcester Warriors as head of strength and conditioning

Worcester Warriors have acquired the services of former Royal Marine Paddy Anson as their new head of strength and conditioning.

Anson is expected to join the Warriors next month following the end of his stint with GB Hockey and English Institute of Sport at Bisham Abbey. He has also worked with Gloucester and Exeter Chiefs as conditioning chief previously.

Worcester head coach Carl Hogg is confident of Anson's ability having watched him at close quarters during his stint with Gloucester.

"We welcome someone of Paddy's experience to head up our strength and conditioning department at a crucial time of the season," said Hogg.

"Paddy is equipped with huge expertise and implemented some of the best training programmes in Premiership Rugby during his spells at Gloucester and Exeter."

Meanwhile, Anson is looking forward to his stint with Worcester Warriors.

"I am delighted to have made the move to Sixways and I am looking forward to working with the players and staff," said Anson.
