Blues and Northland hooker Matt Moulds will take his rugby talents to the northern hemisphere to join Worcester for their next season.
The 27-year-old, who has captained Northland for the last three years, has been part of the Blues since his debut in 2015. Moulds has chalked up 30 games for the Blues and been an integral part of the leadership group.
He will join fellow Blues player Melani Nanai at Worcester in the Gallagher Premiership next season, with his United Kingdom heritage meaning he will not be classed as a foreign player.
"My current focus is to finish a strong campaign here with the Blues," Moulds said.
"It is going to be hard to leave but I am excited to further myself as a player, building on all that I have learned here in New Zealand in this new phase of my career."
