Former Newcastle Falcons star Tom May is the new face of Jesmond boutique, Eden Park. Francesca Craggs chats to him before his move to France

“Tom was already a huge fan of Eden Park before he came on board and as a young professional, epitomises the brand. He looks great in all the ranges, especially EP, which is a little bit more high fashion. We are honoured that Tom is representing Eden Park in his testimonial year.”

Tom is sad to be leaving the North East, but is looking forward to the new challenge. “The North East will always be home, but I’m looking forward to a complete change.

“Toulon is a massive rugby town, and I’m looking forward to that. Also living just minutes from the sea. I’ll miss my friends and family the most, but my wife Kate is originally from Whickham, so we will be returning on a regular basis.

“It’s difficult to leave anywhere after 10 years, but I’m looking forward to what’s to come. The club has been really good to me over the past decade and I’ll always be following the team.”
