Jamie Gibson pens new contract with Northampton Saints

Northampton Saints can today announce that flanker Jamie Gibson has signed a new contract to remain at Franklin’s Gardens.

The 28-year-old back row has been one of Saints’ most-dependable performers in recent seasons, racking up 116 appearances and ten tries to date in Black, Green and Gold.

The former Oxford University student first arrived at Franklin’s Gardens back in 2015, following stints at London Irish and Saints’ East Midlands rivals Leicester Tigers.

Gibson certainly hit the ground running in his first season in Northampton, starting 24 matches and playing a staggering 1,435 minutes of Premiership Rugby.
