VERSATILE back Ryan Mills doesn’t think Worcester Warriors need “any additions” to bolster the squad for next season.

Instead, the 24-year-old says it’s vital Warriors’ training schedule avoids a repeat of the injuries which decimated the squad last summer.

New signings Ethan Waller, Sam Olver, Simon Kerrod, Pierce Phillips and Tom Howe will join Warriors.

And Warriors are believed to be on the hunt for a high-profile fly-half with South African Morné Steyn among the club’s possible targets.

But Mills, 24, said: “I don’t really think we need anyone else.

“If we can get through a good pre-season, get our loading right and keep a decent amount of boys fit, then if we have a squad to pick from I don’t think we need any additions.

“We’ve did really well in the past few months when we had a full squad to pick from.

“We showed we could beat the best sides like Saracens, Harlequins and Bath.”

Warriors had a gruelling pre-season training camp in Tignes, France, last year but suffered injuries to a host of key players, including Will Spencer and Bryce Heem.

Director of rugby Gary Gold says the club will be following a different training schedule under the direction of the head of strength of conditioning, Paddy Anson, who arrived in January.

The squad will not be heading to Tignes and a lot of hard graft will be carried out on the club’s artificial surface at Sixways.

Mills, who was instrumental at fly-half in the second part of the season, believes Warriors will be putting a lot of emphasis on “game management” over the summer.

South African Omar Mouneimne has arrived as the new defence and kicking strategy coach.

The former Italy defence coach has a wealth of experience at the top level and had been working with Stade Francais in Paris.

Mills said: “I don’t think it’s about us needing additions - it’s about us executing things a bit better.

“I have had to do things I wouldn’t naturally do in terms of the game-plan and we had quite a big focus on game management and kicking.

“I like to play with the ball more but Gary has come in with stats to back up what he’s saying.

“It has shown that if we play in the right areas of the field we end up scoring more tries.

“It gives us more opportunities to attack and I’ve had to focus more on game management, kicking and structure rather than just running with the ball.”

He added: “If I had to choose, I would prefer to be playing at 12 but I understood the situation we were in.

“I am more than happy to play at 10 and I enjoy playing at 10 and it has worked well for the team.

“I have trained at 12 at times in training and it’s something we are still looking to get done.

“I like to get my hands on the ball more but when I am at 10 I tend to look after the team much more of the time rather than focus on my game.”
