Northampton Saints sign hooker Nathan Langdon ahead of 2024/25 season

Northampton Saints have announced that hooker Nathan Langdon will join the Premiership club ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The 23-year-old will now join his brother Curtis in the club. Langdon graduated from Loughborough University and made his Premiership Rugby Cup debut during his studies while on loan at Leicester Tigers in 2022.

Following his graduation, Langdon featured 20 times for Sale FC and made his Premiership debut for Sale Sharks against Exeter Chiefs in Round 3.

“I’ve watched Northampton a lot over the last couple of seasons, especially last year when Curtis made the move here. I’m really excited to get involved and play a part in what will hopefully be another successful season for the Club," he told the club's official website.

“Saints are a big team, with a big history. But what drew me in was that players come here and seem to get better. You only have to look at Curtis’ game and the way it developed last season to see that.

“I love the fact that I can come into the set-up at Saints and learn new things and develop my game.

“I’m hopeful I can contribute to the team this season and everyone’s been so welcoming so far – the boys all seem great, and I’ve settled in well.

“I’ve never been at a club with Curtis before, we’ve never played together. There’s a bit of an age gap, so we didn’t play junior rugby together even when we were at the same teams. So being on the pitch together – even just on the training field – will be great.”
