"I'm really excited to be joining Sale. My body feels good and I'm still performing at a high level. I feel like I can compete with the best of them, and then some, and I think if I retired now, I'd probably regret it when I was older."
"Courtney is robust, dynamic around the park and he hits hard, but he has a fantastic skillset that means he's so much more than just a banger."
"Rugby is a small world and if you're a good bloke, you work hard, you're honest, and bring energy to a club, that goes around and that's exactly what you hear about Courtney."
"He wants to bring people with him and lead from the front and I love that. Plus he's captained England and knows what it's like to play and win on the biggest stage."
