FORMER ENGLAND try-scoring machine Chris Ashton has signed for Premiership club Worcester Warriors with director of rugby Alan Solomons saying on Monday he would be a “good role model”.
Ashton, 33, joins with immediate effect, having been released early from his contract with Harlequins.
He scored 20 times in his 44 Tests between 2010-2019 and was joint leading try-scorer at the 2011 World Cup.
The former rugby league star is currently third on the Premiership’s leading scorers list with 88 tries, two behind Mark Cueto and just four short of equalling Tom Varndell’s record.
“He (Ashton) is a quality, proven international, who is equally at home at wing or full-back,” said Solomons.
