Gabby Logan's son quits England for Six Nations rivals

The powerful 20-year-old back-row player has agreed a two-year deal with Sale ahead of the 2025/26 season, joining Alex Sanderson’s Premiership side from Northampton Saints.

Logan joined Northampton Saints in March 2023 from the Midlands Central Academy, an RFU-run programme created following the collapse of Wasps. Prior to that, the dynamic number eight played his junior rugby at Wasps, where he quickly built a reputation as a physically dominant ball carrier.

His senior Saints appearances came in the Premiership Rugby Cup. Logan made his debut in a victory over Cambridge during the 2024/25 campaign and earned his only other outing when he started at number eight against Nottingham in November 2024.

Despite limited first-team opportunities, Sale Sharks were impressed enough to secure his signature, with the move seen as a major development opportunity for the 20-year-old forward.

Reuben Logan is also the son of former Scotland international winger Kenny Logan, adding further intrigue to his international prospects.

He previously represented England at Under-18 level, featuring alongside several players who are now set to become his teammates at Sale. However, Logan switched allegiance to Scotland for the 2025 Under-20 Six Nations, starting every match at number eight and emerging as a key figure in the squad.

That switch does not lock him into one nation long-term. Under current eligibility rules, Logan remains available to represent England, Scotland or Wales at senior level, making him one of the most fascinating dual- (or even triple-) eligible players coming through the system.

With Prem experience, elite physical attributes and international age-grade exposure already behind him, Reuben Logan’s next steps will be closely watched. Sale Sharks now offer a platform to accelerate his development, while the question of which country he may represent in the senior Six Nations remains unanswered.

For now, the only certainty is that Gabby Logan’s rugby-playing son is firmly on the radar — and his international future is far from settled.
