Newcastle Falcons prop forward Mark Tampin has signed a new contract to remain with the Premiership club for a further two seasons.
The 29-year-old joined the club from Championship side Ealing Trailfinders in the summer of 2019.
Formerly of Leeds, Rotherham and Jersey, Tampin has gone on to make 29 appearances at Newcastle.
"There's a huge intensity around each game, but I feel like I'm learning and improving," he said.

"It's been very enjoyable and on a personal level it's been my first proper season of Premiership rugby," he
"I'd built up my levels of experience following a good shift in the Championship, and I think that's put me in a decent place in terms of making the step up."
