He again impressed against Saracens in the Premiership Rugby Cup semi-final at Sixways Stadium in February 2019 but his season was ended by a shoulder injury which he sustained scoring his first try in that match.[3] David returned to action in the 2019 Premiership Rugby Sevens Series at Northampton in September 2019,[4] and came off the bench in the Premiership Rugby Cup match against Exeter Chiefs at Sixways later in the year.[5] He celebrated his Premiership debut by scoring a try in the 22–21 defeat by Bath at Sixways in February 2020 and scored another try against Bristol Bears the following week, 13–10 in a losing effort.[6][7]
On 17 June 2020, David signed his first professional contract to stay at Worcester at Sixways from the 2020–21 season.[8]
