Angus Scott-Young: Northampton Saints back row agrees new deal

Angus Scott-Young, a back row player for the Northampton Saints, has become one of the players who has pledged to stay with the team after the season ends.

The 26-year-old Australian, who joined the Premiership leaders in 2022, has reached an agreement for a new contract.

15 of Scott-Young’s 40 games with the Saints have come this season.

“He’s pretty much in every matchday squad, and brings a lot of what we need in terms of being physical and aggressive,” Phil Dowson, our manager, stated.

“He puts in a shift every single week – in one game earlier this season he made 18 tackles after coming off the bench, which is extraordinary – and so we’re delighted to keep him here in Northampton moving forward.”

Even though Alex Moon, Lewis Ludlam, and Courtney Lawes will be leaving Northampton at the end of the season, 13 players have already committed for 2024–25.

“It’s really exciting to be in an environment like this, with some really talented players, world-class training facilities, and incredible coaches,” former Queensland Reds player Scott-Young said.

“If you look at the men that are competing with me for spots, practically all of them are at the international level. Look at the stock Saints have on the back row.

“The greatest method to make sure you’re improving is to surround yourself with players who possess that kind of quality. You’ll also pick up tips and tricks from them.

“I want to keep improving because, in the end, iron sharpens iron.”
