George Smith departs Saints with immediate effect

Northampton Saints confirm that George Smith has departed the Club with immediate effect to pursue a playing opportunity with French ProD2 side USON Nevers.

The 24-year-old lock first linked up with the men in Black, Green and Gold for the final months of the 2023/24 campaign, having arrived from the NFL International Player Pathway programme in the USA.

“We have agreed to release George from his contract early; he wanted to pursue a playing opportunity overseas and we did not want to stand in his way,” said Saints’ Director of Rugby, Phil Dowson.

“I am sure he will have learnt a lot from his time at Saints, and hopefully this next chapter of his career provides him with more opportunities to play rugby regularly.”
