Sale of Worcester Warriors: club statement

Worcester Warriors have released the following statement regarding the sale of the club.

“Warriors can confirm that owners Colin Goldring and Jason Whittingham have agreed the terms of the sale of the club to an interested party. 

“The heads of terms are now with the legal representatives of the respective parties who are going through the detail of the agreement. As of 5pm on Tuesday, September 13, the heads of terms have yet to be signed. 

“In the meantime, we have been working closely with the interested party on the immediate deposit of significant funds which will allow Sunday’s Gallagher Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs at Sixways and Saturday’s Allianz Cup tie between University of Worcester Warriors and Harlequins to go ahead as scheduled.

“We will provide a further update both on the sale of the club and this weekend’s matches on Wednesday.”
