Newcastle Falcons have secured the future of John Hardie, who has penned a new two-year deal with the club.
The Scotland back-row only joined the Falcons in the summer after being released by Edinburgh in the summer, but has quickly made his mark with the club.
The 30-year-old has been a regular in the Falcons pack since arriving and has now been rewarded with a new deal.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Newcastle Falcons for giving me the opportunity of playing here in the first place,” Hardie said.
“I’m enjoying playing in the Gallagher Premiership, it’s a new competition to me and something I’d always wanted to have a crack at.
“The lads have been great in terms of how they’ve welcomed me to the club, the set-up here is enjoyable and despite our current league position I’ve got absolute full confidence that we have the quality and mind-set to pull ourselves up the league.”
Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards added: “I’m absolutely delighted that we have been able to agree a longer-term deal with John, having initially brought him here for the rest of the current season.”
