Rory Jennings joined Newcastle Falcons in the summer of 2023 from London Irish.

A product of the Bath Academy, he played five Premiership games for the West Country club before moving to Coventry, where he was joint top-scorer during the 2020-21 season.

A former England Under-20s international who represented his country in the 2015 Junior World Championship final, Jennings moved to French giants Clermont for the 2021-22 season.

Spending two seasons at London Irish, Jennings’ final campaign with the Exiles in 2022-23 saw him playing on 19 occasions – 11 in the Premiership and four in the Champions Cup.

London Irish’s suspension from the Premiership in June 2023 saw the versatile back becoming a free agent before securing a move to North East England.
