Sale Sharks have announced the signing of former Wales international scrum-half Mike Phillips from Racing 92 for next season.

Director of Rugby Steve Diamond said: “Mike will fit perfectly into our plans here at Sale Sharks. He is a big, powerful and very skilful player and has plenty of experience playing at the top level of the game.
Mike will be one of three ex Racing 92 players at the club next season alongside Brian Mujati and Juandre Kruger.”
