Young Saints flanker Wallace signs for French side

Northampton Saints have announced that Joe Wallace will be leaving the Club with immediate effect to join Italian side Rugby Colorno for the remainder of the season.

After joining the Club at a young age, Wallace rose through the ranks with Saints’ under-17s and under-18s sides before captaining the latter for the 2018 season.

The 19-year-old Saints Academy flanker signed his first full-time deal with the men in Black, Green and Gold last summer, but did not make a senior appearance for Northampton.

“I have very much enjoyed my time at Saints and would like to wish everyone involved with the Club the very best of luck for the future,” said Wallace.
