Archie Benson made the switch to Northampton from Luctonians ahead of the 2024/25 season, having helped the National League 2 West side to their highest-ever league finishes in back-to-back seasons.
An ever-present in the Luctionians side, the back row made 26 league appearances in the 2023/24 season, also scoring three tries as Lucs ended up second on the ladder.
Benson began life in Gloucester’s Academy as he signed for the Cherry and Whites immediately after leaving Dean Close School in Cheltenham, where he captained the 1st XV and represented England at Under-18 level.
The 6’6”, 106kg flanker – who also studied Agriculture at Harper Adams University – impressed on a trial at Saints and penned a full-time contract at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.
He made his debut for the Club in a victory over Nottingham in the Premiership Rugby Cup in November 2024, before earning his Gallagher Premiership debut at Exeter Chiefs in May 2025.
