Horstmann was a firm favourite of both the players and supporters and was voted players player-of-the-year in the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons[citation needed] and managed a double in 2008–09 when he was voted both Club player-of-the-year and Players player-of-the-year.[citation needed] Horstmann Captained Worcester n the 2011–12 season but injury meant he missed a lot of games.[2]

Horstmann plays as number eight or flanker, and has represented the England Saxons for the Churchill Cup tour of North America in July 2006.[4] He was also a member of the IRB World Sevens Series squad in 2003–04 season.[citation needed]

The Number Eight made his 150th appearance for the club during the 2010/11 season, a year when he was named vice captain and captained the side in the absence of Chris Pennell.[citation needed]
