English Premiership leaders Saracens on Tuesday announced the signings of Tom Howe and Andrew Kitchener on short-term deals from crisis rugby club Worcester.
Howe is a winger who had been at Sixways since 2017 while Kitchener came through the academy at the club.
Financially stricken Worcester were suspended from the English Premiership for the rest of this season last week and will be relegated from the top flight.
Howe and Kitchener, a second-row forward, are the latest players to sign for other clubs after the Worcester staff had their contracts terminated.
Bath have signed England centre Ollie Lawrence on a long-term deal while Australian forward Fergus Lee-Warner has joined the club for the rest of the season.
Northampton have signed former Worcester flyhalf Fin Smith, an England under-20 player, on a "multi-year deal".
Scotland wing Duhan van der Merwe has returned to Edinburgh and lock Joe Batley has rejoined Bristol.
Howe welcomed the "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to join Saracens.
"The Worcester situation was heart-breaking and the club will always have a place in my heart," he said.
"This new chapter is one my family and I are so excited for, and I can't wait to put the shirt on for the first time."
Kitchener said he was grateful for the opportunity to join Saracens but said he was sad to leave a club in such turmoil.
"I'm gutted to have left Worcester having come through the academy and been a part of the club for so long," he said.
