The duo will provide injury cover while Orlando Bailey (facial injury), Piers Francis (quad) and Tom de Glanville (hamstring) are sidelined.

Born in Exeter, Searle experienced National League rugby with Launceston and Plymouth Albion before enjoying spells with Bristol Bears, Wasps and, most recently, Worcester Warriors.

The 26-year-old has accumulated 216 points in 59 Gallagher Premiership appearances to date.

Shillcock, who can play fly-half or in the back three, came through the Worcester Academy and debuted aged 17 in the Greene King IPA Championship play-off semi-final second leg against London Scottish.

Capped three times in the 2016 U20 Six Nations for England, the 25-year-old was consistent member of the Warriors side for a number of years and has so far scored 182 points in 65 Premiership matches.
