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

On the 10th June Mike 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. See Harlequin FC for the sister rugby union club Harlequins Rugby League is a Rugby league club representing the greater London
Mike's last appearance of the season came in round 22 when Harlequins defeated Hull FC 18-16 in another close game. Similar to Mike's previous appearance the opposition ran in three late tries.
2007 Season
In the 2007 season, Mike returned from a serious leg injury to play a role in the first three games of the season. He came off the interchange bench against St Helens away on the 9th February in a 14-6 win; stayed on the bench for the round two game against Salford City Reds which was an 18-18 draw and played as a starting Prop in the away 26-10 win versus Hull KR. Salford City Reds is a professional Rugby league club based in Salford in Greater Manchester, England. Hull Kingston Rovers or Hull KR is a British Rugby league club playing in Super League (Europe, having won promotion from National
Despite these strong performances Worrincy was dropped into the Academy. The club preferred Temata, Heckenberg, Mills and McCarthy-Scarsbrook as the starting and impact Props.

Many Quins supporters were disappointed that Mike was not selected during this period and some were shocked when Brian McDermott decided to sign Luke Burgess on loan and play him straightaway.

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 Giants on the 22nd April (46-16) and again on the 29th April 2007 (a 6-44 home loss) versus St Helens. Huddersfield ( is a large Market town within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England, 190 miles (306km north 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 program).
A spate of injuries in the side including Purdham, Heckenberg, Paul and Hill saw Michael return to play rounds 15, 16, 17 and 18. He found himself on the bench in the heavy 44-18 loss away at Bradford. However he started at second row for the excellent home win against Wigan Warriors (18-8). Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club is a professional Rugby league club based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. He also featured in the away 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 Salford City. The Challenge Cup (as of 2008 known as the Carnegie Challenge Cup for sponsorship reasons is a knockout cup competition for Rugby league clubs across Europe
He then played against Hull KR as a starting Prop on the 30th 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 Les Catalans who dominated the early stages of the game with their awesome size and strength combing with gallic flair to dominate the match but ultimately Quins went onto record a 30-22 victory. The Catalans Dragons (sometimes referred to as Les Catalans or the Dragons) are a professional Rugby league Club based in Perpignan However, although Mike made the 18 for the following game against Hull FC 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. Danny Tickle, born 8 April, 1983 in Golborne, Greater Manchester, England is an English Rugby league player 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.
It seems that Quins RL have not always noticed the correlation between the selection of Michael Worrincy and the positivity of the result.
Michael 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.

Worrincy's best attribute is his determination and pace. A commanding figure when locking the scrum or in the second row, Michael is a supreme athlete who is both forceful and nimble in the pack. With his good footballing skills, Michael Worrincy is a hugely promising player.
He is under contract till the end of the 2008 season and will be looking for a strong end to the season. He is likely to play for Great Britain alongside clubmates Chris Melling and Paul Sykes if he continues to progress. Great Britain was traditionally one of the major national teams playing Rugby league.
