Former England fly-half Andy Goode has confirmed he will still join Worcester Warriors next season despite their relegation from the Premiership.
There had been speculation that the ex-Leicester Tigers man would not arrive at Sixways next season following Worcester's drop into the Championship.
But general manager Charlie Little said: "The chairman [Cecil Duckworth] spoke to Andy Goode over the weekend.
"He is coming and gearing up to the challenge in the Championship."
Goode, who is currently playing at Super 14 side Sharks on loan from French club Brive, agreed to join the Warriors in February.
Goode was a hit in the Heineken Cup with Leicester, winning two titles in 2001 and 2002. He started the 2001 final against Stade Francais which his side won 34-30.
