He captained the Sale Sharks Under 18’s team before moving to Munster Academy and The Irish International set up. He’s represented Ireland at 7’s and 15’s at under 18’s and is now in the Ireland Under 19’s. set up.
A quick centre he was part of Irelands Under 18’s 7’s team that won the European Cup in Germany in 2017.
The Sale FC Rugby family would like to welcome Kieran back to the club and back home.
Saturday the 23rd of December was arguably the best day Sale FC have had since we gained promotion to National 2 North. 1500 People came down to meet the new signing, drink in the new clubhouse, 175 people for pre-match lunch and watch Sale FC overcome a powerful Tigers team in a tense encounter.

Sedgley Tigers were one of only two teams to defeat Sale FC this season and the return fixture was an absolute arm wrestle until the final 20 when Sale turned on the power and sent first Danny Birchall over the line and then the returning Jake Barron touched down following two penalties from Chris Johnson who had yet another fine kicking display. Sedge never really looked like crossing the line against a Sale team with the best defensive record in the National Leagues, even camped on the Sale FC line for ten minutes so no panic from the home team, the final play of the game however, say a rare mistake from Chris Johnson who looking for space over the back three, misjudged his kick and Tigers winger Samuel Lowthion slipped a tackle, and used his pace to get Tigers their bonus point.
Chris Johnson has had some early season hiccups, but, since his showing against Tigers and Tynedale , he’s arguably the best 10 in the league not just by keeping the scoreboard ticking over, but the control of the game which Sale has been missing for the last couple of seasons. His kicks into the corner coupled with the Line Out skills of Rhys, Gaz and Jake have made depressing viewing for many opposition supporters. A full match report is now here
Yesterday we hosted Wharfedale at Heywood road in what turned out to be another five points for Sale FC. We still remain in 5th Position in the table, but with only 2 points separating the top five!
We saw the return of Neil Briggs to Heywood Road in his first game of the season after injury and he managed to score a try providing more evidence that fashion is temporary by class is permanent,
This season has seen a massive push down at Sale FC and although we are still fifth in the table our defensive record and points difference is miles ahead of the rest of the league.
Sale FC have conceded only 154 points this season whereas Tynedale who lead the league have conceded 242 points.
Our points difference is 226 to Tynedale and Hinckley who are both on 186.
