Alex Hearle has made 17 appearances for Gloucester

Newcastle Falcons have signed Gloucester wing Alex Hearle on a two-year deal for next season.

The 25-year-old, who can also play at centre, joined the Cherry and Whites last season after Worcester Warriors went into administration.

He worked under Falcons consultant director of rugby Steve Diamond during his time at Sixways.

"I can't wait to play under Dimes again. I love the type of environment he creates," he told the club website.
