Former Neath and Wales prop Craig Mitchell has signed for RFU Premier side Newcastle Falcons on a three-month deal.

The 15 times capped, 32-year-old prop signed for French club Angouleme during the summer but is now a little closer to home.

Craig’s much-travelled career has taken in Ospreys, Exeter, Blues, Dragons, Bath and Yorkshire Carnegie and all at Neath wish him well on his latest move.
