Guy Pepper set for Bath switch
Newcastle Falcons flanker Guy Pepper will leave the club in the summer to join Bath Rugby.
The 20-year-old has made 23 appearances for the Falcons, having come through the club’s academy.
Chairman of rugby Matt Thompson said: “We share our supporters’ disappointment at Guy’s decision to move on, but of course we wish him the best of luck down at Bath.
“He has done really well for us and we made him an excellent offer to commit to Newcastle Falcons, who have developed, supported him and given him a platform to make his senior breakthrough.
“Life goes on, though, and we are putting systems in place to ensure our best young talent will remain with the club for many years to come.”
