Worcester Warriors players have their contracts terminated with immediate effect

Worcester Warriors players and staff will have their contracts terminated with immediate effect following part of the club being wound up in the High Court.

HMRC had been pursuing Worcester, who are suspended from all competitions, since August for unpaid taxes.

Judge Nicholas Briggs instructed that WRFC Players Ltd, through which players and staff are paid – is wound up.

All debts at the club, which had no representation in court, remain outstanding.

The Telegraph has revealed since that Julie Palmer, of Begbies Traynor, told Telegraph Sport that the club’s suspension from playing will be made permanent by Premiership Rugby Limited (PRL) by the end of next week.
