Tom Gordon: Newcastle Falcons sign flanker from Glasgow Warriors

Newcastle Falcons have signed flanker Tom Gordon from Glasgow Warriors on a two-year deal.

The New Zealand-born Scot, 27, made 76 appearances in six years with the United Rugby Championship winners.

“I’ve had a great time with Glasgow and enjoyed being part of a successful squad this season, but it’s a good change and a big opportunity going to Newcastle,” Gordon told Falcons’ website., external

“It’s a new city for me, a new team and a new competition, so it’s a real fresh start.

“I’ve already got a few mates down there who I know from my time in Scotland with the likes of Cammy Hutchison, Kiran McDonald, Murray McCallum and Cam Neild. They’re all good lads and I hear good things about the place so I’m excited to rip in.”

Gordon is the Falcons’ 10th signing of the summer after they finished bottom of the Premiership with 18 defeats in 18 games.
