Bryce Heem (born 18 January 1989) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a winger for Worcester Warriors in the English Aviva Premiership.[1][2][3][4]

Club career

Heem began his senior rugby career with his hometown club Auckland and made 3 appearances during the 2010 ITM Cup season before heading north to Whangarei to link up with Northland Taniwha. He spent 2 seasons with the Cambridge Blues and scored 5 tries in 14 appearances before heading down to the South Island to join the Tasman Makos in 2012.[2] He firmly established himself as a regular starter for the men from Nelson during their impressive 2013 and 2014 ITM Cup campaigns and this form saw him handed a Super Rugby contract with the Chiefs ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4]

On 8 April 2015, it was announced Heem would move to England to join Worcester Warriors in the Aviva Premiership from the 2015-16 season.[5] Heem marked his debut with a try in a victory over Newcastle Falcons in November 2015.

On the 18 November 2017 Heem scored a hat-trick of tries in Worcester's first win of the 2017-18 English Premiership. The win against Northampton Saints (30-15) saw Worcester lifted from bottom of the table. A culmination of improved performances in two close losses against Harlequins, in the weeks preceding.[6]

On 27 February 2019, Heem signs for French giants Toulon in the Top 14 from the 2019-20 season.[7]

International career

Heem represented the All Blacks Sevens side from 2011 until he signed his Super Rugby contract with the Chiefs.[8] His time on the sevens circuit saw him win a silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.[9]
