After playing his age-group rugby within Northampton’s Junior Academy, Emmanuel Iyogun joined the Senior Academy ahead of the 2019/20 season.

The versatile forward established himself in Saints’ Academy set-up quickly, playing two years above his age when he made his Under-18s debut in 2017.

Captaining Saints’ Under-18s in the 2018/19 season at No.8, Iyogun transitioned into the front row as he made the step up into a full-time contract with Northampton in 2019/20.
