Sale Sharks scrum-half Raffi Quirke has signed a new two-year contract.
The England international, 23, came through the ranks at the Salford Community Stadium and made his senior debut during the 2020-21 campaign.
He made his England debut the following season and has been part of Steve Borthwick’s Six Nations squad this year.
“It’s such an exciting time to be a part of this club because I really believe that we’ve got the team and we’re close to winning some big trophies,” said Quirke.
“Everyone wants to win trophies but to do it here, at my hometown club, playing with some of my best mates and with my whole family watching every week, would be so special.
“I’m fully focused on playing as well as I can for Sale but I want to be involved with England too.”
Sale are currently seventh in the Premiership table, having won six of their 11 matches so far this season.
