Centre Doherty signs new deal with Newcastle
Newcastle Falcons centre Connor Doherty has signed a new deal, keeping him at the club for the 2025-26 season. The 25-year-old joined the Falcons from Sale last summer and scored four tries in 16 appearances in all competitions as the North East club finished bottom of the Premiership table. Doherty scored two tries in the Falcons' 55-19 defeat by eventual Premiership champions Bath in April at the Recreation Ground. "I enjoyed my first season up here and am determined to build on it over the coming year," he told the club website. Falcons director of rugby Steve Diamond added: "I've known and worked with Connor for a long time, having signed him for Sale Sharks' academy when he was a teenager. "He gives us a physical presence in the centres, he hits some nice lines and is making good progress developing his all-round game." Doherty is the fifth Falcons player to sign a new deal with the club in the past week, following in the footsteps of Ollie Fletcher, Max Clark, Ollie Leatherbarrow and John Hawkins.
