Sale agree two-year deal with highly-rated flanker

Sale have continued to show they will mean business next season after completing the signing of talented back-row Luke Abraham. The former England Under-21 star has agreed a two-year deal to move to Edgeley Park from Leicester Tigers - with Abraham joining fellow new face Mathew Tait at Sale. And Abraham is relishing the chance to kick-start his career after finding regular first-team chances at Welford Road hard to come by. "I am delighted to have signed for Sale Sharks and am looking forward to a new challenge at a new club," he said.

Ambitious

"I know that Sale Sharks is a very ambitious club and that Philippe Saint Andre and Kingsley Jones are determined to achieve further success. "I felt it was the right time to move and I look forward to meeting the Sale Sharks squad in pre-season training. "I have enjoyed my time at Leicester Tigers and thank staff, players and supporters for everything they have done in my career to date." Sale director of rugby Saint Andre s pleased to have finally signed Abraham after being impressed with his performances against the Sharks. "I am pleased that Luke is joining Sale Sharks. He is a very good, young English player who I have been impressed with when he has played against us," he added. "I am sure he will be a very good addition to my squad for next season."
