Back-row forward York is the Falcons' eighth signing of the summer.

The 22-year-old joins on a two-year deal and appeared 10 times for Quins last season.

York follows other forwards Carlo Del-Fava, Oliver Tomaszczyk and Scott Mcleod in joining the Falcons this summer.

They have also signed backs Rory Lawson, Tane Tu’ipulotu, Alex Crockett and Alex Higgins in preparation for next season.

New director of rugby Dean Richards takes over at Kingston Park in August.
