Wasps wing Tom Howe is set to join Worcester Warriors for the 2017/18 season.

The 21-year-old is a product of Wasps Academy and has scored two tries in 13 first-team appearances while he was also part of the Junior World Championship winning England Under-20 team in 2016.

He has also represented RFU Championship side Jersey Reds and this season's National League One team Coventry.

Worcester rugby director Gary Gold had high praises for Howe and was impressed by the skills he displayed for Wasps.

"Tom is a hungry young player who will add further depth to our options in the back three," said Gold.

"He has shone for Wasps when presented with the opportunity and hopefully he can use the resources around him at Sixways to flourish as a player."

Thanking Wasps for the opportunities given to him, Howe is looking to propel his career with Worcester Warriors.

"I'd like to thank Wasps for the opportunities they have given me during my time in the academy but I'm now looking forward to a new chapter," said 21-year-old Howe.

"Worcester is clearly a place where young players are given the support they need to be able to make steps in the right direction as a rugby player."
