Northampton statement: Tom Pearson contract extension agreed

Tom Pearson has ended speculation about his future by signing an unspecified length contract to stay on with Northampton, the current Gallagher Premiership champions. It was Monday when RugbyPass reported that the one-cap back-rower, who is currently in England training ahead of the Autumn Nations Series, was poised to pick staying at Saints instead of making a switch to Gloucester.

Two days later, on Wednesday morning, it was confirmed that he will be staying with the Saints for the foreseeable future. A statement read: “Tom Pearson has committed his future to Northampton Saints, penning a contract extension to remain at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens beyond the current campaign.

“The 24-year-old back row enjoyed a whirlwind first year, making 21 appearances across the 2023/24 season as Saints lifted the Gallagher Premiership trophy and reached the semi-finals of the Investec Champions Cup. Pearson has added another three appearances to his tally this term, and has scored seven tries so far for Northampton – including a memorable hat-trick against Bayonne last season.

“After signing for London Irish’s academy from Cardiff Metropolitan University, Pearson made 39 appearances for the Exiles during his first two seasons of professional rugby – scooping Irish’s young player of the year award in his debut campaign before being named the Premiership’s breakthrough player of the season and the RPA’s young player of the season in 2022/23.

“Pearson made the switch to Northampton last summer when London Irish were placed into administration, but went straight into England’s Rugby World Cup training squad before arriving at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens – earning himself a maiden international cap against Wales.”

Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson said: “We are thrilled that Tom has re-signed with us at Saints and we think we have only really scratched the surface of what he is capable of. His athleticism and skill level are through the roof but so is his conscientiousness, his professionalism, and his desire to achieve great things.

“He is a fantastic part of our group as well and I have a lot of respect for the way he manages himself through a training week to get to the best level of performance at the weekend. Tom is a really intelligent player, who thinks a lot about the decisions he makes on and off the pitch. He was very highly sought-after when he left London Irish, and rightly so, so we were delighted to sign him initially and we’re delighted to be keeping him here now.

“We have spoken to him about leadership, and he is someone who can drive a level for us and lead via his actions and his performances. Tom is definitely a player who the others look to, who will take the fight to anyone, so we can’t wait to see what he achieves in a Saints shirt over the next few years.”

Pearson added: “I feel very settled here in Northampton. Last season was a whirlwind, but Saints is a place I feel I can really push on and develop. It’s a place I’ve learnt loads already and somewhere I’ve really been enjoying playing rugby.

“We have got a very tight-knit bunch, a team that understands how they want to play, and coaching staff that want to support that. It’s very exciting to be a part of this team, we have got a good young group where a lot of guys are a similar age to me with similar aspirations.

“The obvious ambition for us is to go all the way again and repeat our successes of last year, we want to put our name in the hat to win the Premiership again and I’m really excited to be a part of that.

“cinch Stadium is a brilliant place to play, I really enjoy running out here. It’s by far one of the best pitches and the best atmospheres in the league. Saints’ supporters are also amazing – we had some of our best performances at home last season, and that’s no coincidence.

“It was an easy decision for me, to choose to stay somewhere like this, and I’m looking forward to running out at the Gardens in the seasons to come.”

'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

Well obviously NZR is not beholden to revenue then Marshall.


And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.


So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.


We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.


NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.
