Henry Pollock has signed a new multi-year contract extension with Northampton Saints that will see him stay at his boyhood club beyond this season. Pollock has been a key part of the Saints side since bursting through as a 17-year-old in 2022, delivering a Player of the Match performance during their Gallagher PREM final victory last season. The back rower already has 13 England caps and five British & Irish Lions caps to his name, with his growing appeal seeing him become the first rugby player to join Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Talent Agency earlier this year.

Pollock previously said he had an open mind about next steps in his career, with Hearn labelling him worth at least £1m a year, but the 21-year-old is now looking forward to extending his time at Saints. In a statement, Pollock said: "I'm massively happy to re-sign with Saints, my boyhood club. It's an exciting place to be right now.

We're in a great spot as a team, but it feels like there's still so much more growth in us." Saints' Director of Rugby, Phil Dowson, added: "We're delighted that Henry has committed his future to Saints. Over the last few years, everyone has seen the quality he brings on the pitch and the speed of his rise through the game - but just as importantly, he's a young man of outstanding character. Keeping someone with both his talent and mindset is hugely important for the club.".
