England lock Charlie Ewels is reportedly in talks with Sale Sharks regarding a potential move to the north-west at the conclusion of the season, as per The Rugby Paper.
The 28-year-old forward, who recently completed a stint with the Blue Bulls until the conclusion of the Currie Cup Premier Division campaign, has caught the attention of Sale Sharks’ head coach, Alex Sanderson.
Sanderson is keen to bolster his squad with Ewels, who has earned 31 caps for England.
The Bournemouth-born player, with 151 appearances for Bath since joining their academy in 2009, may be on the verge of a new chapter in his rugby career.

There was like a stop on the floor so it hit the stop and almost clocked him back…
“We never really addressed it after that.
“So whenever we play each other there is always some element in the game where one of us is running at the other one or we are trying to bang each other. There always seems to be an element of that to it. I am sure he is like, I don’t even know that Dave is playing.”
