Sale Sharks: Opoku-Fordjour, Onasanya, Bamber & Ma'asi-White sign new deals

Sale's Ben Bamber played all 80 minutes of their Champions Cup defeat by La Rochelle

Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Tumy Onasanya, Ben Bamber and Rekeiti Ma'asi-White have all signed long term contracts to remain with Sale Sharks.

Props Opoku-Fordjour, 19, and 21-year-old Onasanya signed to the end of 2025-26 and 2026-27 respectively.

Meanwhile 22-year-old lock Bamber and centre Ma'asi-White, 20, extended their time to 2027 and 2028.

"These young players are an absolute pleasure to coach," head coach Alex Sanderson said.

"It says so much about what we're trying to build that they see their futures with us."

The quartet were all involved in their Champions Cup defeat by French side La Rochelle earlier in January, with Onasanya and Bamber playing the entire 80 minutes.

The 6ft 9in Bamber, who came through rugby league side Huddersfield Giants' academy before crossing codes, has gone on to become a key part of Sanderson's side.

Meanwhile, Opoku-Fordjour, Onasanya and England Under-20s centre Ma'asi-White have also emerged as Sanderson has blended youth into his side this term.
