NEW Zealand winger Rico Gear has signed a three-year contract with English Premiership side Worcester Warriors, the club said.
Gear, who has scored 10 tries in 18 international appearances, said: "This is a new chapter in my life and I'm really looking forward to moving to the UK and playing in the Premiership for Worcester Warriors."
Gear, who follows fellow All Blacks Sam Tuitupou and Greg Rawlinson, Fiji international Netani Talei, Samoa star Loki Crichton and front row giant Shaun Ruwers as the new arrivals at Sixways, added: "I know this is the right club for me and my family at the right time in my career.
"The Warriors have shown their burning desire to move forward in recent months by signing a number of world-class players, including Sam (Tuitupou) and Greg (Rawlinson) who I both know well from Super 14 rugby and the All Blacks. I'm looking forward to coming over with them and making a real impact at Sixways.
"I believe all the ingredients are now at the club so that I can be part of a successful Warriors side that will challenge for honours in the English game in the future."
