Chunya Munga arrived at Northampton Saints from London Irish ahead of the 2023/24 season, following the Exiles filing for administration and suspension from the Gallagher Premiership in June 2023.

The athletic, 120kg second row stands at 6’7” tall, and made 53 appearances in total for Irish (scoring two tries) while also representing England at Under-18s and Under-20s level – playing at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens against Ireland for the latter.

Munga joined the London Irish Academy as a 14-year-old, progressing through the ranks with the Exiles and making his club debut against Bristol Bears in the 2019/20 Premiership Rugby Cup, before starting on his Gallagher Premiership debut against Saracens later that season.

He was called into the England training squad ahead of the Autumn Internationals in 2021, but is yet to be capped in Test rugby.
