Former Bristol and Wasps wing set to return to the Aviva Premiership

Samoa international David Lemi will leave Glasgow Warriors to join Aviva Premiership outfit Worcester next season. The 29-year-old wing scored 36 tries in 95 games during spells with Bristol and Wasps before heading north of the border. Lemi finished runner-up in the Premiership try-scoring charts in his debut year with Bristol as he became a firm favourite at the Memorial Stadium. He was the top scorer in the league in the 2006/07 season and continued to be prolific until he left the relegated club to move to Wasps. "David is a try scorer and in today's game, when defences are tight, many tries come down to individual brilliance," Worcester head coach Richard Hill said. "He's the kind of player that makes things happen, a match winner and do things others do not expect." Lemi added: "I'm really looking forward to the move to Worcester; it is a fantastic and big challenge for me to move to a club with such ambition as the Warriors. "I always enjoyed the style of rugby and what I achieved at Bristol under the leadership of Richard Hill and the chance to work with him again is a huge incentive for me. "Worcester have some very talented young and up-and-coming players at the club and the challenge for me will be to show that I am worthy of a place in the team and also use my experience to be successful at Sixways."
