CLASSY star Richie Worrall admits he has to “challenge himself” after becoming the latest exciting signing for Leicester.
The Watling JCB Lions will go into the new Championship season with a powerful spearhead of Scott Nicholls and Great Britain ace Worrall battling it out for the No.1 spot.
The St.Helens star was a revelation at the end of last season for Poole as they won the Premiership and a big scorer for Edinburgh.
He now joins up with old boss Stewart Dickson and his Lions revolution with Nicholls, Ryan Douglas, Josh Bates, Connor Mountain and Jack Thomas.
He said: “I constantly need a new challenge to get the best out of me. I think I will get that at Leicester and I’m looking forward to it.
“But I do like Leicester and I’ve had some good performances round there. I just think it will be a good move for me.
“Anyone in my shoes going into a team wants to be No.1 and I want to improve my average. It’s going to be hard to repeat what I did at Edinburgh every week at Leicester, I know that.”
Worrall, 27, teams up with his old boss Dickson from their Glasgow days when they won the KO Cup together in 2016.
He added: “It’s good to be back with Stewart. Yes and no he was a factor. I wanted a new challenge anyway but it’s also nice to go somewhere new when you know who you are working with. I enjoyed my time with Stewart.”
