Henry Pollock is set to demand a substantial increase on his current Northampton contract to stay at Franklin's Gardens, with agent Eddie Hearn suggesting annual earnings of £1m are the going rate for the 21-year-old star. Pollock's current deal with Saints, signed in December 2024 and set to expire in summer 2027, is thought to be worth £150,000 a year. His exuberant on-pitch persona, relishing confrontation and celebrating tries with rehearsed routines, has attracted attention and a legion of young fans. Northampton's ability to match Pollock's wage demands may be hampered by a league-wide £6.4m salary cap and their own generation of young stars. The latest salary cap report, external - which detailed payroll from the 2024-25 season - showed Saints did not pay up to the £6.4m limit, with salary spending higher at Bath, Leicester, Sale, Harlequins and Saracens.
