Wales international hooker Scott Baldwin has been released from his contract with Gallagher Premiership club Worcester Warriors on compassionate grounds.
The 33-year-old, who won 34 caps for his country between 2013 and 2017, joined the Sixways club from Harlequins last year having helped his former side to the Premiership title.
However, a serious illness in his family has led Baldwin to request that he be released from his contract with immediate effect in order to spend more time with his family in Wales - a request that the English club have supported.
