Worcester Warriors have re-signed Bath hooker Jasper Spandler on loan and agreed other temporary deals with his club-mate Tom Cowan and Leicester Tigers prop Cameron Miell.

Spandler, 22, is back at Sixways after making three appearances on loan last month when he scored two tries in the 56-28 win over Ampthill.

Flanker Cowan, 23, is a former Wales Under-20 international and has played three times for Bath in the top flight and has made two appearances in the Prem Rugby Cup this season.

South-Africa born Miell, 21, has played for England at under-20 level and has made one appearance for Tigers in the Prem Cup in each of the past three seasons.

The length of the loan deals for the trio have not been revealed.

Spandler, Cowan and Miell will boost Worcester's squad options ahead of the second block of fixtures with several senior players struggling for fitness including captain Matt Rogerson.

Warriors are currently second in the Champ table, after winning five of their first seven matches, ahead of Saturday's trip to bottom-of-the-table Cambridge.
