Addison said: โIt was really tough to leave Sale but I did it for the right reasons and I have loved my time in UIster. I played international rugby for Ireland and that was a huge dream of mine.
โBut Iโve remained a big Sale supporter and Iโve loved watching the club going from strength to strength in the last couple of years. Before I left, Simon Orange told me the club was going places and he was right.
โMy best friends are still at Sale โ Tommy Taylor was my best man and Josh Beaumont was an usher, and I came through the academy with guys like Ross Harrison, Si McIntyre and Sam James. Iโve also got a young baby and now is the right time for us as a family to move back.
โBut I wouldnโt move if I didnโt feel like we had a chance of winning something. There are so many brilliant young players here and I canโt wait to play with them and try and help them develop as much as I can.โ
