Ed Prowse is a versatile forward for Northampton Saints, who graduated from the Club’s Academy system and signed his first full-time contract ahead of the 2020/21 season. 

Prowse spent time out on loan at both Kettering RFC and Loughborough University in his fledgling season, as well as furthering his development through dual registration at Saints’ partner club Bedford Blues in the Champ. 

A senior debut for Northampton came in March of 2022, when Prowse came off the bench against Saracens in the PREM Rugby Cup, and three more Cup appearances followed before the forward’s PREM debut came in the final regular-season game of the 2022/23 campaign. 

Prowse made three more appearances in Saints’ PREM title-winning season of 2023/24 – including league outings against both Bristol Bears and Saracens.

After that campaign, the forward undertook a change of position – transitioning from tighthead prop to lock – and rounded out 2024/25 by featuring in the Champions Cup Final against Union Bordeaux Bègles, and then captaining the men in Black, Green and Gold for the first time in the final match of the season against Gloucester Rugby.

Prowse enjoyed his best season yet in 2025/26, more than doubling his Saints appearance tally as he played 27 times – including from the start in the Gallagher PREM final victory against Exeter Chiefs – and his continued progress saw him named as the Club’s Coaches’ Player of the Season.
