FIRST TEAM

Josh Hodge is returning to Newcastle Red Bulls on a three-year deal, with the Exeter Chiefs and England A full-back forming a key part of the club’s summer influx.

Former players Mark Wilson and Alex Tait, alongside current club duo Brett Connon and George McGuigan, will be formally inducted into the club’s 100 Club at Friday’s fixture against Gloucester Rugby.

Newcastle Red Bulls had to make do with a four-try bonus point in their final outing of 2025, with the Gallagher PREM encounter at Ashton Gate decided by a second-half comeback from Bristol Bears.

Newcastle Red Bulls' replica kit is now available to order online via the official club website.

Tom Gordon returns for Newcastle Red Bulls on Saturday when they travel to Bristol Bears.
