England Saxons winger John Rudd has agreed to extend his contract at Newcastle for a further year.
The 26-year-old arrived from Northampton two seasons ago and made 52 appearances during his time at the Falcons.
And Rudd had no hesitation in agreeing a new deal, saying: "I have enjoyed my spell at the club so far, and I'm looking forward to extending that time."
Interim director of rugby Steve Bates, who will also coach Rudd with the Saxons in the summer, added: "John provides a big physical presence in our back line with the way he plays the game.
"He gives us variety behind the scrum and plenty of go-forward with his direct running style, he is an excellent professional with a fantastic attitude and it is great news for the club that he will remain with Newcastle Falcons for next season."
