The 25-year-old, who has also played for Leicester Tigers, Orrell and both England’s sevens and student teams, will join Northampton Saints for pre-season training in the summer.
Head coach Budge Pountney said: “Ben has performed brilliantly this year for Bedford Blues and we are very pleased he has decided to join us here at the Saints. He will make an immediate impact in the way he can carry the ball and his defensive capabilities are as you would expect of a back-rower.”
