Scotland prop Euan Murray signs for Worcester Murray has been a key member of Scotland's pack since he made his Test debut against Romania in 2005. He was part of the 2007 and 2011 World Cup campaigns, and he will join a Worcester squad who are coached, among others, by Murray's former Lions colleague Phil Vickery. Worcester won their first game of the Premiership season last Friday, claiming a bonus point victory over London Irish, while they drew with Gloucester and also ran Northampton, Leicester and Bath close in defeat. Murray's loan spell with Agen concludes at the end of next month. And he will depart Newcastle after making 31 appearances since joining them in Dec 2010. Falcons rugby director Dean Richards said: "Euan has served us well, and with his aspirations to play in the Premiership, continue to play for Scotland and ultimately tour with the Lions, this is a terrific move for him. We also have to be realistic and play within our means as a Championship team. The squad is packed with experience and has now got momentum after a series of wins as we look to drive towards the Premiership. And Newcastle executive director Paul Varley added: "We believe that we have a squad strong enough to reach the Championship play-offs and gain promotion back to the Aviva Premiership. With this in mind we were prepared to release Euan as we look to reduce the outgoings on players.
