Curry twins sign new Sale Sharks deals

England flankers Ben and Tom Curry have signed new “long-term” deals with Sale Sharks.

The 26-year-old twins both made their debuts for the Premiership club in 2016.

Ben, who was appointed club captain at the end of last season, has won 11 caps for England, while Tom has been capped 62 times and has also represented the British and Irish Lions.

“I’m so happy because we were desperate to keep both Ben and Tom. They’re so good, so special, so important to the team and we’re blessed to have them,” director of rugby Alex Sanderson told the club website.

“They’re almost superhuman and I marvel at some of the things they do.

“They lead by example, they put the team first all the time, they play through pain, through fatigue and they challenge me and the environment every day.”
