Worcester Warriors have signed Edinburgh and Scotland fly-half Duncan Weir for the 2018-19 Premiership season.

The 26-year-old, capped 27 times, has signed a one-year deal at Sixways.

Weir, who is Worcester's 10th signing for next season, began his career at Glasgow Warriors in 2010 before moving to Edinburgh in 2016.

"Duncan is a top-class player who possesses experience at the highest level," said Worcester director of rugby Alan Solomons., external

"He will provide us with another outstanding option at fly-half."

Worcester, who are 11th in the Premiership having won six of their 19 games, have already re-signed Australian fly-half Jono Lance for next season.

Weir, who was told he would be leaving Edinburgh in February, added: "I am extremely excited to be moving to Sixways this summer to be part of a very talented squad.

"Warriors have shown this season that they can beat any team on their day and I am looking forward to working hard to help the club have a successful 2018-19 campaign."
