Henry Pollock has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with Northampton Saints, securing his future with the Premiership champions and ending ongoing speculation about his next move. The 21-year-old back-row forward, who has earned 13 caps for England, was due to become a free agent next summer.

Pollock’s new deal reportedly offers a salary exceeding £400,000 per year, a significant increase from his previous £150,000 annual wage. His advisor, Eddie Hearn, who took on representation of Pollock earlier this year, had publicly advocated for a substantial pay rise, describing the player as a potential "seven-figure" talent worth as much as £1 million annually. However, Hearn was not directly involved in the contract negotiations.

“I’m still young, and we’ve got a young squad with a brilliant group of lads,” Pollock said following the signing. “For where I am in my career, this is exactly where I want to be.”

Pollock’s new contract reflects the Saints’ commitment to retaining promising talent as they look to build on recent successes. His role in the team has grown steadily since breaking into the senior squad, with his performances at both club and international level marking him out as one of English rugby’s rising stars.
