Courtney Lawes Announces Return to International Rugby After Joining Sale Sharks
Posted : 07 April 2026
Former England captain Courtney Lawes has signed with Sale Sharks for the 2026-27 season and says he is “officially unretiring” from international rugby.
The 37-year-old second row won three Six Nations titles and played in the 2019 World Cup final before retiring from England duty in 2023.
Lawes hopes to play well for Sale first and sees a potential return to the England squad afterward.
