SALE Sharks are keeping tabs on Newcastle Falcons back-rower Callum Chick even though he has just penned a new contract with his hometown club.
Chick, 24, a Junior World Cup winner with England in 2016, spent last week in Teddington at the Lensbury Club after receiving his first call-up from Eddie Jones.
The Falcons ace, whose father Brian played for the club when they were known as Gosforth, signed a new two-year deal in May.
Sharks boss Alex Sanderson is known to be an admirer and has put him on his long-term shopping list.
