Vickers, 27, has featured regularly for the Falcons this term but began his professional rugby career late, only making his first start in the Guinness Premiership in the 2007-08 campaign.

"Rob has been one of our most improved performers this season, and he is really developing well as a first-team regular," said Falcons director of rugby Steve Bates.

"He came in to our system late, not until he had finished university, but he is a great role model for youngsters who may not have been picked up by the academies.

"Through sheer hard work and a determination never to give up, he has earned his right to play at this level - I'm delighted that he will be with us for at least the next year."
