Collier was released by Worcester at the end of last season

Launceston have announced the signing of second row Tim Collier from Premiership side Worcester Warriors.

Collier, who weighs in at 20 stone (127kg), spent a loan period with the Cornish All Blacks at the end of 2007 and now completes Launceston's line-up.

The lock-forward said: "I enjoyed the back end of last season and the type of rugby they were playing."

"I was asked to come back and was released by Worcester so I thought it was a nice challenge to take up."

The All Blacks have also signed former Cornish Pirates lock Scott Hobson on a dual-registration deal with Bath at the end of last week.
