Ted Hill signs new two-year deal with Warriors

Ted Hill has committed his future to Warriors until the end of the 2021/22 season.

Hill, 20, has signed a two-year extension to his existing contract which expires at the end of the current season.

Hill was capped by England as a replacement against Japan 12 months ago while he was still a member of the Three Pears Warriors Academy and only two months after he had scored two tries on his Warriors debut in a dramatic Premiership win over Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.

“Speaking to the owners and to Alan their vision matches up with each other. They have a plan of where they want to be and where they want to go. We are not there yet but we are definitely on the way,” Hill said.

“It’s a really exciting time to be at the club. We have a good Academy and it’s about developing home-grown players. It’s important to keep those guys signed up and to keep growing the club through our youth set-up.

“I’m honoured that the club have seen me as a key part of that and I am really pleased to be a part of it. But it’s not all about me, there is a lot of good young talent coming through and it’s about keeping those players and harnessing their abilities.”
