“I am delighted to be joining Northampton Saints, and to get the opportunity to develop as a player using the wonderful facilities at Franklin Gardens,” he said.

“It’s clear that Chris Boyd is looking to bring through young players through at the Club which is really exciting to be a part of; and I’m looking forward to working with him and the rest of the squad from the start of pre-season”.
