Nick Schonert: Sale Sharks sign former Worcester Warriors prop

Nick Schonert is the third front-row forward to join Sale this summer

Sale Sharks have signed former Worcester prop Nick Schonert on a three-year deal.

The 29-year-old joined the Warriors from Cheetahs in his native South Africa in 2014.

He was released earlier this summer with a year left on his contract.

"He's been one of the leading props in the Premiership for many years and we can't wait to see him pull on a Sharks shirt," director of rugby Alex Sanderson told the club website.

Schonert, who played for an England XV against the Barbarians in 2018, is the third front-row forward to join the Sharks this summer after Wasps duo Tommy Taylor and Simon McIntyre.
