|
Newcastle have signed American lock Luke Gross from relegated Rotherham.
The 34-year-old former Harlequins and Llanelli player, the United States' most-capped player with 62, has agreed a two-year deal with the Falcons.
"Luke brings with him not only a lot of Test match quality, but also a lot of European experience," said Falcons director of rugby Rob Andrew.
"His set-piece play will be a big bonus for us, and his ball skills are
excellent for a man of his size."
Gross, who is 6ft 9in tall and weighs 19 stone, hails from Decatur, Indiana.
