Phil Maynard has continued his summer pruning by releasing two more of last season's Pertemps Bees squad with flanker Pete Knight and centre Scott Williams leaving the club. Former Wales Under-21 international Williams, a first-team regular with Bees, has been released at his own request having started a new job in Wales only 12 months after he arrived at Sharmans Cross Road from Newport.

But his new commitments are likely to cut into the time he can dedicate to commuting to Birmingham and so the decision has been taken to release him. He is expected to sign for a Welsh Premiership club for the coming season.

Knight, a product of Worcester's Academy, joined Bees two years ago but was unable to establish himself as a first choice. He is expected to join Midlands One club Dudley Kingswinford where he had two spells on loan last season.
