England Rugby Star Pollock Signs New Northampton Deal

The 21-year-old back row forward ends a contract stand-off after a rapid rise that made him one of rugby’s most valuable young players.

  • On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Henry Pollock signed a multi-year contract extension with Northampton Saints, ending speculation about his future with the defending Gallagher PREM champions.
  • Agent Eddie Hearn publicly sought a significant pay rise during negotiations, with reports suggesting the 21-year-old was valued as a "seven-figure player."
  • Pollock has amassed 49 Saints appearances and 13 England caps, plus five British and Irish Lions caps, establishing him as a recognizable figure in British sport.
  • Although the exact salary remains unclear, the new deal sits comfortably above the £191,000 league average and his previous contract of about £150,000.
  • Pollock told BBC Radio Northampton he is "very, very happy to sign here," aiming to help the squad pursue a Champions Cup title.
