English-qualified scrum-half Michael Dowsett has signed a permanent deal with Worcester Warriors.
The Sydney-born former Brumbies half-back joined Worcester on a short-term deal in November, but has now earned a longer stay.
"Michael has shown tremendous professionalism since joining the club," said Worcester rugby director Gary Gold.
"He provides important competition in the half-back position and he's a hungry, enthusiastic individual who drives standards across the board."
Dowsett featured for New Zealand's Southland in the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup competition, but now the 25-year-old is intent on carving a long-term stint at Sixways.
"I've enjoyed my short time in Worcester so far and I'm looking forward to the future," said Dowsett.
"Hopefully I can take my opportunities when they come along and help the team push on."
