| Newcastle Falcons has confirmed that scrum half Lee Dickson will join Northampton Saints at the end of the current season. |
Acting director of rugby Steve Bates, a former England scrum half himself, said: “Lee was out of contract at the end of this season, and scrum half is a position in which we have a wealth of talent right now.
“In James Grindal and Hall Charlton we have two vastly experienced players, plus an outstanding prospect in Micky Young who is rapidly pushing his case for first team recognition on the back of some very strong performances for the Development Team.”
Dickson scored three tries for the Falcons in his 57 first team appearances, all coming in the European Challenge Cup, and has made nine Guinness Premiership starts this season.
Said Bates: “I would like to thank Lee for the contribution he has made during his time at the club, and to wish him well for his future down at Northampton.” |
