Oli Spencer signs new two-year deal with Newcastle Falcons

Newcastle Falcons have announced that back Oli Spencer has signed a new two-year contract with the Gallagher Premiership club.

Spencer was part of the England Under 20 side that won the Six Nations title earlier in the year and has seven first-team appearances for the club.

“I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Falcons so far and am excited to stay here for at least another two seasons," he told the club's official website.

“I’ve been at the club since I was 14, they’ve shown a lot of faith in me and I’ve got a load of good friends here, so it was an easy decision.

“For any aspiring young player it’s really important to feel like you’ve got that opportunity for game time at first team level if you put the work in.

“Newcastle are definitely a club who will give you that chance and they’ve looked after me really well, even when I’ve had serious injuries earlier in my career.

“It’s been awesome to make my first team and Premiership debuts for the Falcons this season, and to have seen so many academy lads doing the same."

Newcastle Falcons are languishing at the bottom of the Premiership table after losing all their 15 matches.
