SOUTH African scrum-half Francois Hougaard wants to make the most of his next three years at Worcester Warriors.

“Since the first week, they (the club) have welcomed me with open arms,” said Hougaard.

“I enjoyed every second of it and I can see myself having a future at the club and then I then went on to sign a three-year deal.

“I don’t think I could have asked for a better start. But there’s always room for improvement.”

Hougaard has been in impressive form for Warriors since arriving at Sixways last month, guiding them to three wins from four matches.

“It’s certainly a big change coming from South Africa,” said Hougaard.

“Signing a three-year deal and making this my home for the next three years is awesome.

“I am very thankful for the opportunity and I am definitely looking forward to making the most out of it.”
