England international Tommy Freeman signs new contract with Northampton

England international Tommy Freeman has committed his future to Northampton Saints by signing a new contract that will keep him at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens for the foreseeable future.

The 23-year-old, who has become a key player for both club and country, continues to make his mark in the Black, Green, and Gold jersey.

Since joining Northampton’s senior squad from the club’s flourishing academy system, Freeman has made 83 appearances and scored 215 points for the Saints.

His versatility across the backline has been pivotal to the team’s success, contributing significantly during their Premiership title-winning campaign in the 2023/24 season, where he scored 14 tries, including one in the final against Bath at Twickenham.

Freeman’s rise through the ranks has been impressive, earning the Club’s Breakthrough Player of the Season award in 2020/21, followed by the Young Player of the Season accolade in 2021/22. He finished the 2022/23 campaign as Northampton’s top try-scorer, solidifying his status as one of the most exciting talents in English rugby.

On the international stage, Freeman has become a regular starter for England over the last six months, amassing 11 Test caps. He made his debut in the second Test of the 2022 tour to Australia and scored his first international try against France during the 2023 Six Nations.

Freeman also featured in every match of England’s recent summer tour to Japan and New Zealand, further establishing himself as a key player in the national setup.

“Staying on for more time at Saints was really a no-brainer for me,” said Freeman to the club's official website.

“This Club has been my home for the last six years, and I feel really settled here in Northampton.

“The fans are unbelievable week in, week out, and make cinch Stadium the best place in the league to play rugby.

“The coaching set-up at the Club is brilliant as well. I feel like I’m always improving here, all my skills are developing all the time, and every coach here is trying to make you a better player every day you come in.

"That’s only going to help me and the team moving forwards, so I know this is the right place for me to stay and achieve all my goals".
