Yorkshire Carnegie captain Ryan Burrows to join Newcastle Falcons

Yorkshire Carnegie captain Ryan Burrows has become Newcastle Falcons’ latest signing as the club continues its recruitment for next season.

Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards commented: “Ryan is an experienced performer who has played to a consistently high standard in the Championship over a number of years now, and really deserves this chance to step up.
 
“His ball-carrying, leadership and work rate will all be major assets when he joins us in the summer, before which time I know he is completely committed to helping Yorkshire Carnegie finish their season strongly.”

The 28-year-old has scored 28 tries in his 138 appearances for Carnegie since joining them in 2011, having also made more than a century of appearances for Rotherham.
