PHIL Richards has signed a new contract at Sixways.
The fitness coach, who came to Worcester Rugby Club in the summer, has extended his stay.
The former Swansea fitness guru has revolutionised the training methods at Worcester this season and his contribution has been one of main reason's behind the power play which has dominated the championship campaign.
"He's made a significant contribution this season," said director of rugby John Brain.
"It wasn't an easy decision to bring in a new fitness coach in the summer but I think it's been proved to be the correct one.
"Phil has introduced a lot of fresh ideas to the club this season from nutrition and diet through to training techniques and strengthening procedures.
"Obviously, after this season, we wanted to make sure the coaching continuity was in place before any thing else was done and it gives us a great platform to move forward.
"Phil, like all of us at Worcester, are relishing next season. It's a very exciting time to be part of the club and Phil has played a big part in this season's success."
