Newcastle Falcons' Callum Chick is tackled during the Gallagher Premiership match at Kingston Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, March 29, 2024

CALLUM CHICK revealed his ambition to play for England again is behind his decision to move from Newcastle to Northampton at the end of the season.

The back rower, who won England caps against the United States and Canada in 2021 and played against the Barbarians the following year, will end a 16-year association with his boyhood club this summer.

The 28-year-old has made more than 150 senior appearances and has started in all 15 of Newcastle’s Premiership Rugby games this season, but the number eight says he is ready for a fresh challenge.
