Ex-captain Addison to leave Sale this summer

Will Addison won five caps for Ireland between 2018 and 2020

Former captain Will Addison is set to leave Sale Sharks at the end of this season.

Addison, 32, made his Sale debut in 2010 and was made skipper ahead of the 2017-18 season.

He joined Ulster a year later where he would spend six years and won five Ireland caps in that time.

The Cumbria-born centre returned to Sale last summer and has played 11 games this season, scoring two tries.

"This club gave me the opportunity to become a professional rugby player and change my life," he told the club's website.

"I really transformed from boy to man while being part of this incredible club."
