Back-row forward Ollie Leatherbarrow has signed a new one-year contract with Newcastle Falcons.
The 23-year-old Scotland Under-20 player has played 20 times for the Falcons first team since making his debut two seasons ago, and scored his first try on the final day of last season, against Leicester Tigers.
Leatherbarrow, who joined the Falcons from Exeter Chiefs in 2023, played seven times in the Gallagher Premiership last season, all from the bench.
Falcons director of rugby Steve Diamond told the club website, external: “Ollie has really developed over the last year, and I’m looking forward to seeing that progress continue.
“He’s a real grafter who is great in our squad environment, and he has earned this contract through his hard work and positive attitude.”
