Christian Judge trades The Rec. for Sixways
- 1616
After nearly two years at Bath, tighthead prop Christian Judge has announced that he will be continuing his rugby career with Worcester Warriors.
The 28 year-old previously helped Saracens win the Premiership in 2019 before taking up with Charlie Ewels and co., but is excited for this new challenge.
“After meeting the coaches and hearing their vision and ambitions for the club I’m really excited about making the move to Sixways in the summer,” Judgesaid.
“It is clear they are building something very positive for the future and it feels like the right time to be joining up. I look forward to being a part of their vision for the club at this exciting time.
Warriors head coach Jonathan Thomas says he has had his eye on the prop for a while now:
“We have been following him for a few years now and we remember him playing down at Pirates,” Thomas said.
“Like most tightheads he talks passionately about scrummaging. He did well in the little spell he had with Saracens and he’s done the same at Bath. Hopefully we can help him to fulfil his potential here.
“He’s a good player, a really good person and he’s a really positive signing for us.”
Warriors’ director of rugby Alan Solomons is likewise upbeat regarding the new development:
“We are delighted that Chris has decided to join Warriors,” he said.
“He is an experienced Premiership tighthead prop, whose game is built on his scrummaging. He will be invaluable to us as we look to take the club forward.
“Chris is also a good team man and will fit in well here at Sixways and we all look forward to his arrival next season.”
