Hunter-Hill joins Northampton after Sarries exit
- Published
Northampton Saints have signed Callum Hunter-Hill after the second row left Premiership rivals Saracens earlier this week at the end of his contract.
The 27-year-old was part of Sarries' Premiership wining side of 2022-23 and previously helped the London club return to the top flight as Championship title winners in 2021.
In his five year with Saracens, the 6ft 7in (2m) tall, 120kg lock made 81 appearances.
Hunter-Hill is the second lock to sign for Premiership champions Saints in as many days, with George Smith's move to the club made official on Thursday.
“There are a lot of really talented players in my position so there is going to be good competition,” Hunter-Hill said.
"Hopefully I can get in there and get some game time, play some rugby, but in that same vain, it is a really talented group and Saints didn’t win the competition for no reason."
