The side's top scorer in their return season following three years out of action, the Welshman has enjoyed a fruitful campaign in the number 10 shirt after joining from Dragons in the summer, including crossing for the first competitive try of the Warriors return - scoring early on The Champ's opening weekend against Coventry.

Reed has made no secret of his ambitions to play in the Premiership, feeling Warriors is the best place to achieve those goals.

"I want to play in the Premiership," the former Wales under-20 international told the Worcester News in March.

"I think it is an unbelievable league and as a group, I think if we keep developing and growing the way we are, then I think we will be really deserving of that.

"Warriors, personally I believe it is the best place to be for that to happen

"That would be a massive goal of mine - to play in the Prem one day and hopefully take Worcester up there. That would be unbelievable if it did happen."

The fly-half is the second player currently among their ranks, announced to be retained for next season, alongside Australian backrower Tim Anstee.

Anstee, crowned player's and supporter's player of the year last week, had his retention announced earlier today (Monday, April 27).

Warriors currently lie fourth in the 14-team Championship, with a place in the play-offs already secured.

They have two matches remaining of the regular season before kicking off their play-off campaign for their return season.
