Will Glister joined Northampton Saints from Midlands Central (formerly Wasps) Academy ahead of the 2023/24 season, having impressed in the Academy League campaign with a series of tries from the wing.
A former Buckingham RUFC player, Glister moved to City of Oxford College on Wasps’ AASE programme and played fullback for their side, meaning he is comfortable across the back three.
The winger made his senior debut in Black, Green and Gold in his fledgling season, starting Saints’ season opener in the Premiership Rugby Cup against Ealing Trailfinders. Glister crossed for a brace of tries in that match, before adding another to his tally the following week against Cambridge.
The 2024/25 season saw Glister add a further eight Saints appearances to his tally, including making his Premiership debut in April 2025 at Newcastle Falcons, where he played on the wing and scored a try in a one-point win for Northampton.
Glister has also gained valuable experience with loan spells at Bedford Blues and Cambridge, adding Championship minutes to his development, while he was named in the England Under-20s’ EPS squad for both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons.
