Donncha O'Callaghan has signed a new deal to remain at Worcester Warriors for a third season.
O'Callaghan joined the Aviva Premiership outfit after 17 seasons at Munster in September 2015 and went on to play in every Premiership game in his first year at Sixways, while he has already made 19 appearances for the team this season.
He was made captain as made captain earlier this year and under his leadership the club have picked up 17 points in seven games.
“Our recent form has been reasonably encouraging and that provides us with a decent platform for next season," O'Callaghan said.
“People often talk about what Warriors can become but it really is time we started to deliver consistent success on the field. Nothing else is acceptable.
"I believe we have the staff and the squad to compete next season, and I am really excited by the challenge.”
Director of Rugby, Gary Gold added: “Donncha is a phenomenon. He must be one of the most professional rugby players in the world and the manner in which he prepares for matches, mentally and physically, is an outstanding example for any young player.
“We are delighted he has agreed to remain with the club next season.”
