Falcons confirm Mermoz signing

Centre Maxime Mermoz has agreed a move to Newcastle Falcons at the end of the season, despite making his Leicester Tigers debut just last week.

The 30-year-old joined Leicester at the start of February from Toulon, after a highly successful career in France.

Mermoz won two European Champions Cups and a Top 14 title with Toulon, plus a further two French domestic championships with Toulouse and Perpignan.

Signed as short-term injury cover for the Tigers’ Matt Toomua and Manu Tuilagi, the France international scored a try within half an hour of his debut against Gloucester last weekend.

Mermoz has been capped 35 times for his country and boasts 167 appearances in the French top flight.

Newcastle Falcons’ director of rugby Dean Richards told their official website: “Maxime’s signing is a major statement of intent for Newcastle Falcons.

“We have been working hard over a long period of time to make this move happen.

“The fact that he will spend the back half of this season with Leicester Tigers is ideal in the sense that he will already be accustomed to Aviva Premiership rugby by the time he arrives with us in the summer, and we are excited by what he will bring to the group.”

Mermoz added: “I am really happy to join the Falcons and I have been attracted by the ambitious plans of this historic club, which was the starting point of my former team-mate and legend Jonny Wilkinson.

“I expect to share my experience and bring my contribution to achieve the ambitious goals of the team. But I also come to learn and experience something new.

“This is a big challenge, but really exciting and motivating. I love it, I feel grateful and want to pay back the trust shown in me by Newcastle Falcons.”

I enrolled in an online professional certification program for program development, which I believed would enhance my career prospects. After researching the program thoroughly, I paid a  fee of $7,300 USD, confident that the certification would be a legitimate asset to my resume. However, after completing the course and attempting to use the credentials in my job search, I quickly realized that the certification was nothing more than a scam. The company behind the program had falsified its credentials and provided no actual value. They offered a polished website, convincing sales pitches, and promises of job opportunities, but once I began digging deeper, I found numerous complaints online from others who had been scammed in the same way. Unfortunately, the organization was not just unprofessional, but fraudulent, offering no real support or resources to help with career advancement, leaving me feeling deceived and frustrated. Desperate to recover my hard-earned money, I began researching ways to hold the company accountable and retrieve my funds. It was then that I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a team that specializes in tracing fraudulent organizations and helping victims reclaim their money. After contacting them, I was relieved to find a team of dedicated professionals who understood the intricacies of recovering funds from such scams. They meticulously traced the fraudulent organization and its activities, gathering the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Within weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery was able to successfully recover my $7,300 USD. The entire process was seamless, and I was kept informed every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail were invaluable in navigating the complex world of online fraud and scams. Not only did I get my money back, but I also gained peace of mind, knowing that the scammers were being held accountable for their actions. As a resident of Dallas, I am grateful to have found such a reliable service in a time of need. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their commitment to helping victims of fraud are unmatched, and they offer a sense of security in the face of what could otherwise be a daunting experience.
