Bryce Heem (born 18 January 1989) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as an winger for Worcester Warriors in the English Aviva Premiership.[1][2][3][4]

Heem began his senior rugby career with his hometown club Auckland and made 3 appearances during the 2010 ITM Cup season before heading north to Whangarei to link up with Northland Taniwha. He spent 2 seasons with the Cambridge Blues and scored 5 tries in 14 appearances before heading down to the South Island to join the Tasman Makos in 2012.[2] He firmly established himself as a regular starter for the men from Nelson during their impressive 2013 and 2014 ITM Cup campaigns and this form saw him handed a Super Rugby contract with the Chiefs ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4]

On 8 April 2015, it was announced Heem would move to England to join Worcester Warriors in the Aviva Premiership from the 2015-16 season.[5] Heem marked his debut with a try in a victory over Newcastle Falcons in November 2015.
