Smith commits to 'multi-year' Northampton contract

Fin Smith played his part as the British & Irish Lions enjoyed a successful tour of Australia earlier this year.

England and British and Irish Lions fly-half Fin Smith has signed a new multi-year contract with Premiership side Northampton Saints.

The 23-year-old joined from Worcester Warriors in 2022, and has scored 589 points in 63 appearances for the Black, Green and Gold so far.

Smith has also played 11 times for England and was part of the Lions tour to Australia in the summer.

"I've loved my time at Saints and feel I've developed massively as a person on and off the pitch," he told the Northampton website.

"I turned up as a 19-year-old a bit naive and have to thank Northampton for helping me figure out who I want to be, how I want to play the game, and what it means to play here; it's shaped me in a big way.

"There were other options for me to explore at the end of this contract cycle, but ultimately, staying in Northampton felt right. I believe we can go on to be really successful.

"Personally, I want to keep striving to be the best player and person I can be, and be a big part of a successful team at Saints and with England."

The length of Smith's contract is undisclosed.
