WORCESTER Warriors have snapped up talented back rower Caleb Montgomery from Ulster for next season.

The 23-year-old forward becomes Warriors’ sixth new signing and will arrive in the summer on an undisclosed deal.

Montgomery made his senior debut for Ulster as a replacement in their Pro14 match against Leinster in January and has been a regular in their A team this season.

The Irishman played for Ulster A in last month’s Cara Cup tournament in the United States and is looking forward to making the step up to the Gallagher Premiership with Warriors.

“I am hugely excited to be joining Worcester Warriors for the 2019-20 season,” Montgomery said.

“It is a great club with passionate fans, excellent facilities and a strong talented squad that really play for each other.

“I am really looking forward to getting over there and meeting my new teammates and coaches.

“(Director of rugby) Alan Solomons is someone I have great respect for all he has achieved in the game and can see the honest and fair environment he has created at Worcester.

“One in which I hope to prove myself.”

Solomons believes that Montgomery who has played for Banbridge in the All Ireland League is a player that will be physicality to his side.

“Caleb is a talented young player who has a real physical presence,” Solomons said.

“I have no doubt that he will make his mark here at Warriors and I look forward to working with him.”

Leicester Tigers lock Graham Kitchener, Blues back Melani Nanai, Northland scrum-half Jono Kitto, Connacht tighthead prop Conor Carey and Provence wing Ed Fidow will also make the move to Worcester next season.
