At the start of the 2019-20 season, he was training with Worcester Warriors. He played for the Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup and Premiership Shield.[4]

Bean returned to Northampton Saints for the rest of the season; but he was then loaned out to Bedford Blues. The Bedford side has a partnership deal with the Saints and this saw 12 Saints players, including Bean, move to the Blues for the close of the 2020–21 RFU Championship season.[9]
