Aiden Ainsworth-Cave initially joined Saints’ Academy at Under-14 level, and signed on for Northampton’s Senior Academy ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The loose forward played for Bedford School and Bedford Junior Blues, and – after a year out of action through injury – returned to Under-18s action for Saints at the close of the 2023/24 season, playing in Northampton’s final Premiership Rugby Academy League game at home to Newcastle Falcons and then in the Final.
Ainsworth-Cave has also experienced international honours, having represented England Under-18s in the 2024 Six Nations Festival and more recently England Under-20s at the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship.
