Harpenden RFC’s Jack Singleton has been signed by Worcester Warriors.
Singleton, 17, is an Oaklands College student who has plied his trade at St Albans and Saracens as an academy player where he progressed from the U16 right up to becoming captain of the U18.
He was also captain at the college and has represented Hertfordshire at senior level.
