Josh Beaumont: Sale Sharks forward signs new 12-month contract with Premiership club

23 February

Sale Sharks forward Josh Beaumont has signed a new contract to stay with the Premiership club for a further 12 months.

The 31-year-old has made more than 160 appearances for Sale since making his debut against Montpellier in 2013.

Beaumont played 26 games for the club last season and helped them reach the Premiership final.

"I did think the last deal I signed might be my last but I'm feeling really good," Beaumont told the club website.

"I've always said that the day I stop enjoying coming in and wanting to train and get better, I'd retire.

"But my body is feeling good, I'm playing in lots of games and I'm still loving it as much as I ever have."
