Luke Green commits future to Northampton Saints

Northampton Saints have confirmed that tighthead prop Luke Green has signed a new contract, securing his future at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens following an impressive spell with the club.

Green joined Saints ahead of the 2024/25 season after a stint in Major League Rugby with San Diego Legion, having previously played for London Irish and Ampthill.

Since arriving in Northampton, the 24-year-old has quickly established himself as a reliable option in the front row. He featured in 24 of Saints’ 33 matches during his debut campaign, form which led to a contract extension being agreed midway through the season.

The 6ft 3in, 125kg prop has continued to build momentum this term, taking his total appearances for Saints to 30 and consolidating his role within the matchday squad.

His performances have also been recognised at representative level, earning selection for England A in their victory over Australia A at Ashton Gate. Green previously represented England at Under-18 and Under-20 level.

Green said he felt Northampton provided the best environment for his development, highlighting the competitive standards within the squad and the influence of new scrum coach Jaco Pienaar, who joined the club last summer.

“I love it here at Northampton. I love this part of the world, I love the boys, and the environment is outstanding. From a rugby point of view, I’m learning so much,” Green said.

“I still think of myself as a young player, but when I look at the environments I’ve been in, this is the one where I feel I’m progressing the most.

“You can feel the improvements week to week, and the coaches drive high standards – no one is ever comfortable here.

“I’m ambitious and I take my career seriously. I want to keep pushing on, put pressure on Trev [Davison] and Cleopas [Kundiona], and become first choice tighthead here at Saints. And ultimately, I want to push into the England squad too.”
