Michael Young’s Testimonial Year announcement

Newcastle Falcons have announced Michael Young’s Testimonial Year on their website earlier this week.

This announcement kickstarts a year of celebrations to honour Michael’s remarkable rugby career, which includes over 200 appearances for Newcastle Falcons, as well as seasons with top clubs like Leicester Tigers, Bath, Gloucester, and Toulonand, and international success with England Sevens and England Saxons.

This special year will feature a series of exciting events, including a dinner with Alan Shearer, a pre-Lions dinner with legendary Lions, and a unique golf day.

Proceeds will support My Name'5 Doddie and the Alan Shearer Foundation, two charities with strong ties to the North East sporting community, that support causes close to Michael’s heart.

Speaking to Newcastle Falcons staff at Kingston Park, Michael expressed his fondness for the Falcons squad and the North East region by saying: “I’m honoured to have been awarded a testimonial and to be doing it at a club where I spent 13 seasons, playing with some incredible team-mates.”
