Newcastle Falcons have added Conor Doherty to their squad for next season on loan from Sale Sharks.
Doherty will move to Kingston Park for a year before returning to Sale and signing a new contract until 2026.
The 23-year-old center came through the Sharks academy and has featured in seven first-team games this season.
“Conor will be a really good addition to us,” Steve Diamond, Falcons’ director of rugby consultants, told the club website., Out
“He is powerful, hits big over the gain line and is happy in one of the center positions.”
