Neil Briggs (born 1 June 1985 in Germany) is a rugby union player who most recently played for Sale Sharks.
Briggs plays as a Hooker, but he can also play as a Flanker.
Briggs started his career at Rotherham Titans before moving to Sale Sharks where he notched up 104 appearances from 2005 to 2011.[1] In the 2005–2006 season, Briggs made 3 appearances as Sale Sharks won their first ever Premiership title.[2] In October 2011 he left Sale to join French club Bourgoin for the remainder of the 2011–12 season[3] before returning to the Aviva Premiership with London Welsh in 2012.[1]
