CAMERON NEILD
SIGNS UP
Sale Sharks flanker Cameron Neild is joining
Newcastle Falcons in the summer on a two-year
deal as the club continues to build for the
coming season.
The 29-year-old has played more
than 130 times for his home
town club during a career
which has also seen the
abrasive back-rower
featuring for Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Worcester
Warriors.
“Cam is a very good
Premiership operator
who has played
over a century
of games in the
competition,” said
consultant director of
rugby Steve Diamond, speaking about the 6
foot 1 forward who has represented England
at Under-20s, 18s and 16s levels.
“He brings a wealth of experience and he fits the
mould of the players we’re trying to bring in at the
moment.
JOIN THE
FOUNDATION
Are you ready to be part of a team that’s making a
real difference in our community?
Newcastle Rugby Foundation are offering two unique volunteer
roles – trustee, and marketing and commercial committee
member - where your passion and expertise can help drive
positive change.
. He has that hard edge about him, he’s not past his sell-by date
and he’s got that real work ethic which is a great fit as we look
to move this Newcastle Falcons squad forward.”
Relishing the prospect of his summer switch to the True
North, Neild said: “I respect Dimes highly as a coach and
have got a great relationship with him, so the fact that he is
in charge was a big draw for me.
“He’s a great man manager who is
brilliant at recruitment, and he
always improves teams
wherever he goes.
I know the
Falcons will be in a better position for having him
on board, and he’s someone who is very honest and
straight-up with you.
“I’m pretty similar in that regard, and I see it as
a good challenge to help Newcastle make some
progress. It’s been a tough season for them but I
want to be part of their improvement process, making
a positive contribution wherever I can.
“In terms of what I’ll hope to add – I’m an attritional player
who gets through a lot of the grunt work, and I pride myself
on the abrasive side of the game. I’m probably a bit rough
and ready, and I enjoy the physical aspects of rugby.”
