the 27-year-old, who began his career at Fylde RFC, is out of contract at the end of the season but Northampton are reportedly keen to keep him at Franklin’s Gardens.
The former Newcastle Falcons and Leicester Tigers prop has 16 England caps, the last coming against Wales in the 2016 Six Nations – however, he has fallen out of favour with the England selectors.
But if anything that makes him a more promising signing as he will not miss large chunks of the season on international duty.
