YOUNG prospect Ollie Hayes looks set to go out on loan as Worcester Warriors continue to let their fringe players secure valuable game time.

Head coach Richard Hill confirmed the 21-year-old hooker is being lined up for a move to RFU Championship club London Scottish.

If the move goes through he will follow the likes of Sione Tu'ipulotu and George Porter, who have gone to Plymouth Albion, and most recently centre Andy Short who is joining up with Cornish Pirates.

The coach admitted the lack of action for Worcester Cavaliers was the reason behind the moves.

"Because there are no A League fixtures, I need to find the likes of Andy Short rugby," he said.

"Andy is a very promising young lad and I have told him he is definitely in our plans for next year, there is no question about that. Playing for the Cornish Pirates, who play some good attacking rugby, will do him the power of good."

"We also have Sione at Plymouth Albion and Ollie Hayes could be going to London Scottish soon to get game time.

"We need one or two of these lads, who are on the fringes of the first team, to go and get regular rugby at top RFU Championship teams."
