Sale have completed the signing of flanker David Seymour from Guinness Premiership rivals Saracens.

The 24-year-old England A and Under-21 forward came up through the ranks with the London club and went on to make 105 appearances.

He also won a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games alongside new team-mate Mathew Tait.

Sharks director of rugby Kingsley Jones said: "David is a good signing for us, he has a high work rate and plenty of pace.

"He has come through the system at Saracens and when I found out he was available, I made my move to sign him."
