Michael Worrincy

Worrincy made his second senior appearance as a substitute on 29 May in a historic 29–28 victory over Salford City Reds with Henry Paul kicking over a drop-goal in the 79th minutes to secure the two points.

On 10 June, Worrincy traded the number 17 jumper for a starting position in the second row against Warrington. In an exciting game Worrincy charged on to the ball from 40 yards out and ran brilliantly through the defence to register his first ever four points for the club. Quins RL won 30–28 with Warrington scoring three tries in the last twelve minutes to bring the sides close despite a dominant performance.

Worrincy's last appearance of the season came in round 22 when Harlequins defeated Hull F.C. 18–16 in another close game. Similar to Worrincy's previous appearance the opposition ran in three late tries.

A spate of injuries in the side including Purdham, Heckenberg, Paul and Hill saw Worrincy return to play rounds 15, 16, 17 and 18. He found himself on the bench in the heavy 44–18 loss away at the Bradford Bulls. However he started at second row for the excellent home victory over the Wigan Warriors (18–8). He also featured in the away Rugby League Challenge Cup defeat at Wigan the following week and then played in the second-row for the historic first ever Super League try-less game where Quins lost 5–2 away at the Salford City Reds.

On 12 November 2010 it was announced Worrincy had signed for Penrith Panthers. On 12 November 2010, he successfully agreed terms with Penrith and became the 4th former Bradford Bulls player (Sam Burgess, George Burgess, Mark Flanagan, and Michael Worrincy) to play in Australia.

Worrincy signed for Bradford Bulls on 25 September 2008.

2007 saw Worrincy move to prop. Brian McDermott has also used Worrincy as a second-row. However his favoured playing position is as a loose forward.

In the 2007 season, Worrincy returned from a serious leg injury to play a role in the first three games of the season. He came off the substitutes bench against St. Helens away on 9 February in a 14–6 win; stayed on the bench for the round two game against Salford which was an 18–18 draw and played as a starting Prop in the away 26–10 win versus Hull Kingston Rovers.

Given this context, it was a surprise when Worrincy reappeared in rounds 11 and 12 having seemingly drifted out of favour. He started on the bench in the heavy defeats at Huddersfield on 22 April (46–16) and again on 29 April 2007 (a 6–44 home loss) versus St. Helens. These were the two heaviest defeats of the season and Mike quickly found himself out of favour despite it being obvious that others had played poorly.

During his time on the sidelines he obtained his first personal sponsorship in June 2007, with Kate Rammond sponsoring him for home games and Mark Rammond sponsoring him away from home (cited in Harlequins RL matchday programme).

He then played against the Hull Kingston Rovers as a starting prop on 30 June 2007 where he was instrumental in the 32–18 win, scoring the first try of the game from five metres out and his own first try of the season. The following Saturday he appeared against Catalans Dragons who dominated the early stages of the game with their awesome size and strength combining with gallic flair to dominate the match but ultimately Quins went on to record a 30–22 victory. However, although Worrincy made the 18 for the following game against Hull away he found himself yet again out of favour. Although Quins RL were 8–0 up after only 13 minutes, they consistently gave away penalties to go in 8–8 at the break following four conversions from Danny Tickle. In the second half Quins conceded further two further tries and scored no points whatsoever despite having four consecutive series of possession followed quickly by another three.

Worrincy is the younger brother of former Academy star Rob Worrincy, who became a journeyman in the 2007 season with appearances for Leeds Metropolitan University, a trial with 2006 Grand Finalists Hull FC, and then returned to Sheffield Eagles, where his previous final appearance has seemed to be in the National League Grand Final where he scored a length of the field try.

In 2006 Harlequins Rugby League struggled for form and additionally had an injury crisis with 15 players unavailable and there were calls for the club's best youngsters to appear. Worrincy and Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook were considered for the home game against Leeds, yet it was two months later before Worrincy finally made his début for the senior squad after coming off the bench against Bradford Bulls in the 58–16 defeat on 13 May 2006.

Worrincy was 16 years old when he began playing for London Broncos academy side after signing from the Greenwich Admirals. Worrincy toured Australia with British Amateur Rugby League Association U18s. Worrincy spent the 2005 season further developing his skills whilst on loan with Hull FC's U21 academy side together with fellow loanee Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook played an important role in Hull's U21 Grand Final success.
