#5. Ethan Waller
The 31-year-old has notched up 124 appearances so far across two spells with the men in Black, Green and Gold, scoring five tries along the way. He also amassed 118 appearances with Worcester Warriors during his five seasons at Sixways.
Waller has also been Chair of the RPA since 2021, playing a key role in representing the interests of hundreds of current male and female professional rugby players in England.
But after 14 seasons the loosehead believes now is the right time to hang up his boots, and Waller is hoping to sign off in style this season with Saints competing for silverware on two fronts.
“I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined that I would have been a professional athlete, so I’m really proud to have called this a job for over a decade,” he said.
“I’ve made some of the very best friends and memories from my career; I’ll never forget that incredible game away at Leinster in 2013, winning the Premiership Rugby Cup with Worcester, all the European away trips, and socials with the teammates I get to call my friends.”
#6. Alex Moon
Moon will leave the club at the end of the season to join Bayonne.
The 27-year-old has made over 120 appearances since his Saints debut in 2016 and scored three tries.
He is a former England Under-20 international and took part in a 2020 training camp for the senior side.
“Alex’s move was announced very quickly by Bayonne, and we’re disappointed our supporters will have heard the news that way,” boss Phil Dowson said.
“We wanted to keep hold of Moony, but there were a few forces at play, with him wanting to play abroad at some stage and not being involved with England in the here and now.”
