Stade Français’ English fly-half Zack Henry (31) has confirmed his transfer to the English club Newcastle Red Bulls, whom he will join at the end of the season.

Having arrived in Paris in 2023 after spells at Rouen, Nevers and Pau, Henry is bringing to an end nine years spent in France to go back and play in the Premiership, where he had already spent a season with Leicester Tigers.

The player said he was excited about the idea of returning to his home country and taking part in what he considers an “ambitious” project at Newcastle.
