Sale confirm Josh Charnely switch

As revealed by Neil Fissler in The Rugby Paper on March 13, Sale Sharks have secured the services of England rugby league winger Josh Charnley.
The 24-year-old winger will switch code at the end of the current Super League season next autumn and has to date made 152 appearances for Wigan scoring an incredible 148 along the way.
During his time with the Warriors, Charnley has won two Grand Finals (2010 & 2013), two Challenge Cup Medals (2011 & 2013) and has twice topped the Super League Top Try Scoring Register (2012 & 2013).
Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond said, “Josh is a great signing for us. He was schooled in the famous Wigan Academy and everyone I have spoken to rates him very highly. He has explosive pace and can play either full back or on the wing.
“The last big signing we made from Wigan back in 2000 was Jason Robinson and what impact he had. I am sure Josh will fit in perfectly with us at Sale Sharks and look forward to him joining us in the autumn.”
