And he will now take his expertise to Sixways after agreeing to join the Dean Ryan revolution.

“This is a tremendous challenge and I am excited by the vision which this club clearly has,” said Johnston.

“I have known Dean for many years and I am a great admirer of everything he has done in the world of rugby.

“Having left the Saints after several wonderful years at the club I needed a new challenge. This is exactly the challenge I’ve been looking for and I cannot wait to get started.”

Ryan, who has endured a tricky start to his tenure at Warriors, seeing the club fail to win a Premiership game so far this season, is looking forward to working with Johnston.

And the director oif rugby said: “I am absolutely delighted that Nick has agreed to join us. His record in high performance management and the development of the academy programme is second to none and I know this appointment will be a tremendous boost to this club.

“His appointment is further evidence to our ever increasing commitment to the long-term development of Worcester Warriors.”
