Sale Sharks have signed scrum-half Xavier Roe on a two-year deal.
The 27-year-old joins from New Zealand side Chiefs, having spent five years there, scoring 40 points in 58 appearances for the Super Rugby club.
He will join up with Alex Sanderson’s squad in time for beginning of the 2026-27 Prem season in September.
Roe, who is officially uncapped but featured for an All Blacks XV on a 2025 tour, said he wanted to “experience a new environment, new players, and another country”.
