Veteran winger Sinoti Sinoti has signed a new contract that will keep him at Newcastle Falcons beyond the 2018/19 season.
The details are yet to be confirmed, but the announcement delivers a boost for Newcastle who are languishing at the bottom of the Premiership table.
The 33-year-old has scored 16 tries in 72 Premiership matches and has one try in three Champions Cup fixtures.
Newcastle's director of rugby Dean Richards has heaped praise on the electric winger.
““Sinoti is one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Gallagher Premiership, if not Europe, and it's another boost to the club that he sees his future here.
“You can't fail but enjoy his approach to the game, he puts bums on seats and more importantly he puts fear into opposition defences,” he said.
Sinoti has played his trade in France, Italy and New Zealand but has stated that his family have settled well since joining Newcastle in the 2013/14 season.
“My family and I have made Newcastle our home, we love it up here and it's great that I've been able to extend with the Falcons.
“The supporters here have been awesome with me right from day one, the lads and the coaching staff make it a fantastic environment and I see only good things for the club,” he said.
Sinoti's new contract comes in light of England international Mark Wilson's recent four-year deal with Newcastle.
