Falcons sign Doncaster lock Josh Peters

Doncaster Knights’ Spanish international lock Josh Peters is joining Newcastle Falcons on a two-year deal. The 26-year-old stands at 2.04m (6 foot 8), weighs 117kg (18 stone 5) and has been capped 10 times by Spain. “It’s a great opportunity to go up a level and challenge myself in a Premiership environment,” said the second-rower, who made 18 appearances for Doncaster this season as they finished a close second in the table. “It’s exciting to be making the move, and through hard work and learning I’ll look to push for a place.

Outside of the rugby Newcastle is a great city which I’ve visited a number of times, including playing up there in pre-season last summer, and hopefully good things will come from the move.

“I’m already good mates with Newcastle’s prop Conrad Cade from his time on loan at Doncaster, and I was also in Northampton Saints’ academy with George Wacokecoke, who is a really good lad.”

Born just outside London, Josh moved to Marbella with his family at the age of two, saying: “I grew up in Spain and played out there until I was 16, when I got a scholarship to go to Oundle School and linked up with Northampton Saints’ academy.
