Mike Brown will be a Newcastle Falcons player next season, with the in-form Harlequins full-back relishing the prospect of life at Kingston Park.
“I’ve enjoyed watching how the Falcons have performed this season since coming back up, and they’ve had some great results,” said the man who has made more offloads than any other player in this season’s Gallagher Premiership, and is in the top ten for carries and tries scored.
“They play with an uncompromising toughness and have got some real X-factor players, and when the time comes to join up with them in the summer I know I’ll enjoy being part of it.”
Capped 72 times by England, the 35-year-old holds Harlequins’ all-time appearance record having played 348 times for the London club.

BROWN SAID: “Slade has got the natural ability that we associate with All Blacks. Farrell showed against Wales what he can do as second receiver, bringing outside backs into the game and off-loading when taking the line on himself.”
