Sale Sharks prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour has signed a new three-year deal.
The 20-year-old made his England debut against Japan in November and has been named in their Six Nations squad.
He joined Sale in November 2022 after his previous club Wasps were expelled from the Premiership.
“This club feels like home and it was an easy decision to stay,” he told the club website., external
“I’ve grown in confidence here and there’s a massive opportunity for me to continue to grow and develop my game.”
Opoku-Fordjour has featured in all 10 of Sale’s Premiership games this season, starting eight of them.
“Asher is one of the best prospects in the country and we’re delighted that he sees his future here,” said Sharks director of rugby Alex Sanderson.
“We’ve got a good track record of getting young front-rowers into the international set-up and this new contract says a lot about what we’re building and the environment we’re creating.”
