Henry Pollock has signed a new multi-year contract extension with Northampton Saints that will see him stay at his boyhood club beyond this season.
Pollock has been a key part of the Saints side since bursting through as a 17-year-old in 2022, delivering a Player of the Match performance during their Gallagher PREM final victory last season.
The back rower already has 13 England caps and five British & Irish Lions caps to his name, with his growing appeal seeing him become the first rugby player to join Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Talent Agency earlier this year.

Pollock previously said he had an open mind about next steps in his career, with Hearn labelling him worth at least £1m a year, but the 21-year-old is now looking forward to extending his time at Saints.
In a statement, Pollock said: "I'm massively happy to re-sign with Saints, my boyhood club. It's an exciting place to be right now. We're in a great spot as a team, but it feels like there's still so much more growth in us.
"I'm still young, and we've got a young squad with a brilliant group of lads. Some of my best mates are here, and every day everyone pushes each other to improve and be the best players and team we can be. For where I am in my career, this is exactly where I want to be.
"I feel like we're only just getting started. We won the PREM last season and we want to go again. Winning the Champions Cup is another huge ambition for us. We came so close a couple of years ago, and achieving that together would be incredibly special.
"I just want to enjoy every moment of this journey. I'm playing for my boyhood club, surrounded by great people, and that's something I never take for granted. The connections within this group are what make it such a special place."
