'Incredibly proud' Ford stays at Sale
Nottingham Post
|October 16, 2025
SALE Sharks and England fly-half George Ford has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new three-year contract.
-
The Oldham-born 32-year-old, who has won 102 England caps, became Shark #358 when he returned home to the north to sign for Sale ahead of the 2022/23 season.
After recovering from an achilles injury, he led the team toa Prem final in his first season and has gone on to make 44 Sharks appearances, scoring 341 points.
This season, he produced a player of the match performance in round one, before slotting two trademark drop goals in a narrow defeat to former club Bath in round two.
On Friday night he kicked 12 points to guide Sharks to a record 57-5 win over Newcastle Red Bulls.
On the international front, George made his England debut in 2014 and played a key role as Eddie Jones's men reached the World Cup final in 2019. This summer he won his 100th cap as he guided England toa series win in Argentina.
