Fly-half Josh Thomas signs for the Falcons

Fly-half Josh Thomas signs for the Falcons Wednesday 18 May 2022 Ospreys fly-half Josh Thomas has signed for Newcastle Falcons, joining the Gallagher Premiership club this summer on a two-year deal. The 21-year-old is a former Wales Under-20s international who has made 23 senior appearances for Ospreys, one of which saw him scoring the winning try away to Leinster. Able to play at full-back as well as fly-half, Thomas said: “Moving to Newcastle is an exciting opportunity which I couldn’t really turn down.

I’ve wanted to play in the Premiership – it’s a new competition for me and a challenge that I’m looking forward to.

“There are loads of positive aspects to playing in the Premiership, and I want to go up to Newcastle, really compete and test myself.”

Asked where he sees the strengths of his game, Thomas said: “I like to take the ball to the line and challenge defences, have a crack and put players into space.

“I’ve played fly-half and full-back, but I’ve played more at fly-half. I’d like to think I have an eye for a gap, so when it’s on, it’s on. I like to have a go, and that’s pretty much my approach to it.”
