Prop Logovi’i Mulipola to re-join Newcastle Falcons at end of Gloucester stint

Logovi’i Mulipola will re-join Newcastle Falcons for the 2020-21 Gallagher Premiership season.

The Samoan international is currently on a short-term deal with Gloucester after helping the Falcons clinch back to the Premiership with an unbeaten campaign.

Capped 33 times by his country, including at last year’s , Mulipola has scored two tries in his 34 appearances for the Falcons since signing from Tigers two years ago.

Director of Dean Richards said: “Logo boasts vast experience and an ability to play on both sides of the , so it’s great news that he will be returning to Newcastle.

“His spell playing for Gloucester will help ensure he is match-sharp for when the new season starts at the back end of November, and knowing he will be on board just adds to the sense of stability around our squad.”

Mulipola will return to a club whose summer signings have included centre Matias Orlando, Treviso lock Marco Fuser, centre Tom Penny, Doncaster centre Pete Lucock and defence coach Nick Easter.

Newcastle won every single one of their games in all competitions last season, sitting 18 points clear at the top of the Championship table and with a home semi- secured in the Championship Cup prior to the campaign’s early finish.

A host of last season’s key players have also pledged their futures to the club with newly-extended contracts, including top try-scorer Adam Radwan and flanker Gary Graham.
