Worcester sign ex-Northampton wing Seabrook

Tom Seabrook scored three tries in nine appearances during Northampton Saints' Premiership winning season in 2023-24

Former Gloucester and Northampton Saints wing Tom Seabrook has become the latest high-profile signing for Worcester Warriors.

The 26-year-old joins the ex-Premiership club as it prepares to return to rugby in the Championship next season following administration nearly three years ago.

Seabrook, a former England Under-20 international, came through the Gloucester academy and spent six seasons at Kingsholm, scoring nine tries in 68 appearances.

His first score - on his debut against Saracens in 2018 - came after just 58 seconds and is the fastest ever maiden-appearance try in the Premiership.

Seabrook signed for Saints two years ago before leaving at the end of last season after scoring 15 tries in 28 games - including a hat-trick in the European Champions Cup in January.

He said the chance to be part of Warriors' return to the sport was an "incredible opportunity".

Seabrook is the 27th player recruited by Warriors ahead of their comeback in 2025-26 and joins a list including former Newcastle full-back Louis Brown, ex-England back Billy Twelvetrees, Uruguay back Juan Gonzalez, Leicester Tigers prop Tim Hoyt and Exeter Chiefs prop Billy Keast.

Former Wales scrum-half Lloyd Williams, Saracens prop Fraser Balmain and Dragons fly-half Will Reed have also signed up at Sixways.
