Harrogate, Tynedale, Newcastle FalconsBiography
The Yorkshire-born hooker made his Falcons first team debut during the 2006-07 season, having come through the club's academy while a student at Durham University. The former Harrogate man has represented England at University level, as well as featuring for local club Tynedale. The 2009-10 season saw Vickers score three tries in his 30 appearances, earning him the Falcons Player of the Season award. His stellar form was also enough to see him named in the English Saxons squad, as they won the 2010 Churchill Cup. In 2010-11, Vickers played the full 80 minutes of the Falcons magnificent comeback victory over Wasps at Kingston Park. Vickers made 19 Aviva Premiership appearances that season before going on to make a further 18 appearances the following year. His impressive form earned him a new deal in February 2012. During the 2012-13 season Vickers made 27 appearances and was influential in helping the Falcons to promotion back to the Premiership.
