Thomas: New contract
Sale have been boosted by news Lee Thomas and Nick Macleod have both agreed new two-year contracts.
Centre Thomas joined the Sharks from Cardiff in 2006, with full-back Macleod following from the Blues two years later.
And Sharks director of rugby Kingsley Jones is delighted the duo have committed their futures to the Edgeley Park club.
"It is great news for everyone at the club that Nick and Lee have committed to the club until July 2012," said Jones.
"It shows the intention from both the players and the club. We've said all along we are working on a long-term plan, and we want to invest."
