Newcastle Falcons professional rugby player Sam Lockwood has been appointed Head of Rugby at Langley School in Norfolk.

Sam currently plays at Premiership side Newcastle Falcons and has been with the top flight club for five years. His career includes a coveted England Students cap, which he gained when playing for Yorkshire Carnegie while at Leeds Met University.

As of September 2021, Sam will be Head of Rugby and Head of Boys’ Boarding at Langley’s Senior School campus in Loddon, while his wife Charlotte will be teaching in the Pre-Prep at the Langley Prep campus in Taverham.

Langley Headmaster Jon Perriss comments, “Rugby is one of our major sports and we know that Sam will bring an incredible amount of experience and expertise to the school. We have no doubt that he will also be a role model and true leader in our boarding community. It’s an exciting time and we very much look forward to welcoming Sam and Charlotte into the Langley family.”
