Dowsett extends rugby deal at Worcester

English-qualified and former Brumbies half back Michael Dowsett has signed a permanent deal with Premiership rugby club Worcester Warriors.

Sydney-born former Brumbies scrum half Michael Dowsett has signed a permanent deal with English rugby club Worcester Warriors.

The English-qualified half-back joined Worcester on a short-term deal in November, but has now earned a longer stay.

"Michael has shown tremendous professionalism since joining the club," said Worcester rugby director Gary Gold.

"He provides important competition in the half back position and he's a hungry, enthusiastic individual who drives standards across the board."

Dowsett featured for New Zealand's Southland in the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup competition, but now the 25-year-old is intent on carving a long-term stint at Sixways.

"Hopefully I can take my opportunities when they come along and help the team push on."
