Alex Mitchell is one of Northampton Saints’ most-experienced players, both in terms of games played and – despite still being in his 20s – age too.

Then there is his notable rugby CV too which has gained some impressive achievements in recent years. In 2021/22, he made his senior England debut and won both of Saints’ Players’ Player and Supporters’ Player of the Season awards.

In 2023, he was England’s starting scrum-half for the Rugby World Cup journey to the semi-finals in France. The following year he scored the match-winning try in the 2023/24 Premiership Final to defeat Bath and become a league champion. Then in 2025, he was selected for the British & Irish Lions’ squad to tour Australia.

The 2024/25 season marked Mitchell’s tenth with the Club, a journey that began in 2015 after initially being a part of the Sale Sharks Academy.

It didn’t take long for the Maidstone-born back to turn heads in Black, Green and Gold, making his debut against Saracens in 2017 a few months after his 20th birthday and also playing a key role in the Wanderers claiming successive Premiership Rugby Shield triumphs in 2017 and 2018.

This was followed by a breakthrough season in 2018/19. Mitchell played 30 times across the campaign as Saints reached the knock-out stages in every competition and also lifted the Premiership Rugby Cup on home soil.

Alongside his accurate passing, kicking, line-breaking qualities, Mitchell possesses a try-scoring threat himself, reaching double figures in the 2023/24, 2021/22 and 2018/19 seasons.
