Cipriani signs new deal at Sale

London - England flyhalf Danny Cipriani has signed a new two-year deal with Sale Sharks, the Aviva Premiership club announced on Thursday.

The 27-year-old's contract was due to expire at the end of the season and he had been linked with a move to French side Toulon but opted to extend his stay at Sale.

Cipriani, who scored a try 22 seconds after coming on as a replacement in England's 47-17 victory over Italy in the Six Nations on Saturday, said he was delighted to finally conclude contract talks that began in December.
