Adept on both sides of the front row, Miell has made 11 appearances for Warriors this season, including featuring off the bench in the side's most-recent match - a 28-34 home defeat against league-leaders Ealing Trailfinders.

Miell entered the action in the 64th minute, replacing player-coach Fraser Balmain - a signing from last summer already confirmed to be continuing with the club next season.

The South African has also featured twice for Leicester this campaign, with both appearances for Tigers coming in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

The frontrower originally joined Leicester as part of the Senior Academy from South Africa, where he was educated at Paul Roos Gymnasium.

He made his senior debut in October 2023 in the Prem Rugby Cup against Bedford Blues, and had Champ experience prior to his time with Warriors, having gone on loan to Nottingham previously.

On signing for the club, Miell said: "I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have signed for Worcester.

"It's a club with so much to offer, a culture that inspires and a community feel I feel privileged to be a part of.

"I'm excited to continue growing both as a player and as a person amongst such a great group of boys.

"I can't wait to see how much we can achieve as a team next season."

Miell is the latest player to be confirmed to be joining Warriors next season, along with the signings of Ashley Challenger, Jake Garside, Matt Kvesic, Fraser Balmain, James Short, Tom Seabrook, Matt Rogerson, Juan Gonzalez, Will Reed and Tim Anstee, Hallam Chapman, James Tyas and Côme Joussain.

Elsewhere, the departure of Fijian international prop Tim Hoyt to French Top-14 side Lyon has also been confirmed, while the signings of Joe Jones and Jack Dickinson for next season have also been confirmed.
