Newcastle Falcons have confirmed No 8 Allister Hogg has signed a new two-year contract at Kingston Park.
The 32-year-old, who has made 117 appearances for the club since arriving in 2010, joins Alex Tait, Will Welch, Tom Catterick and Callum Chick in committing his future to the Premiership club.
"Obviously I'm delighted to have signed a new contract with the club, it is in a really positive place right now, is moving in the right direction and I am keen to keep on playing a part," Hogg told the club's website.
"It is a really competitive environment at the moment, particularly in the back row with some really talented players pushing each other to be at their best at all times and that is an environment I really want to keep being a part of."
Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards said: "Having Ally commit to the club for another two-year deal is great news for the club and will see him continue to play an integral part of its future.
"We have said that our aim is to create a team based around top young, local talent, supplemented by quality additions and Ally certainly falls into that category."
