NEW Worcester Warriors signing James Cherry promised "110 per cent commitment" in his first interview since joining the club.
Cherry, who finished last season as The Champ's second-placed try-scorer while playing for Nottingham, has bolstered Worcester Warriors' back-row options as they look to go back-to-back and retain their Champ Rugby title.

Speaking to the club, Cherry said: "(I'm) Absolutely buzzing. I think it’s an absolutely amazing club.
"What you guys achieved last year winning the Elior Champ final, beating obviously Bedford in that game was just unbelievable and to be here and be a part of a great group, great coaching staff at an amazing place at Sixways Stadium – I’m absolutely buzzing. "

On what Warriors fans can expect from him as he takes to the field, the 25-year-old added: "I think try scoring is obviously one part of it but that all comes from your teammates around you putting you in good places. If anyone watched Notts last year I think most of my tries were from five metres or less.
"What Warriors fans can expect from me is just 110 per cent commitment, whether that’s home here at Sixways in front of all the fans or whether that’s your dark away days up to your Caldy’s or down to Cornish (Pirates) in the middle of winter, it’s just going to be 110 per cent, carry hard, tackle hard, and give everything for the badge and like I say do everything I can to help the team win matches and push up that league."

After three seasons pulling on the green of Nottingham, Cherry explained he is excited to switch to Worcester's blue and gold and learn from the players and coaching staff at the club.
"Obviously I had a few good seasons at Nottingham – you know all credit to the other players there and the coaching staff, they enabled me to be the best player that I could be and put together some good seasons," he said.
"I’m really excited this year obviously joining the Warriors to try and keep developing, keep learning from some of the great back-row we’ve got here.
"The likes of Kev (Matt Kvesic), Tim Anstee, new lads coming in as well like Tom Savage. Learning from the coaches as well Cruser (forwards coach Tom Cruse) and obviously Evs (head coach Matt Everard).
"(I’m) just trying to get better every week and contribute to the side and winning rugby matches. "
