ON THE BLINDSIDE
Sale Sharks are on the verge of persuading Sam Bedlow to return to his native North-West next season when his contract with Bristol Bears runs out next summer.
Bury-born Bedlow, 27, spent two years with the Sharks making ten appearances before spending a season with Hartpury College in 2017 before linking up with the Bears five years ago.
The inside-centre, above, has been a regular for the Bears in the Premiership this season and has played 61 games scoring 42 points for Pat Lam‘s side, but Sharks boss Alex Sanderson is keen to have him back at Sale.
