Worcester Warriors back row Jake Abbott has signed a new two-year contract with the Championship leaders.
The 22-year-old England Sevens player, who has been at Sixways since the age of six, is currently out of action with a serious knee injury.
Worcester head coach Richard Hill said: "It is fantastic news that Jake has signed a two-year deal and we can look forward to seeing him back in action.
"It was a bitter blow to lose Jake to injury as he was a star for us."
Since first breaking into the team in 2008, Abbott has made 20 appearances for Warriors in which he has scored seven tries.
He turned down the chance to compete for a place in the England Sevens squad for the Commonwealth Games in order to focus on his Warriors career.
