Dom Barrow to join Saints from 2018/19 season

Following the news that he has arrived at La Rochelle, Northampton Saints can today announce that Dom Barrow will join the Club in time for the 2018/19 season.

The Sheffield-born lock began his rugby career in Yorkshire Carnegie’s academy, but after a two-year stint with Newcastle Falcons has now made over 50 appearances for Tigers.

“I’m really relishing a new challenge at Franklin’s Gardens,” said the 25-year-old.

“Chris Boyd’s appointment was key to my decision and it seems to have generated a lot of positive energy at Saints. It’s obvious that there’s a huge focus on putting things right for next year and challenging for honours – I can’t wait to play my part..."

Barrow was shortlisted for Young Player and Newcomer of the Year in his debut season at Welford Road, before being nominated for Supporters’ Player of the Year in 2017.
