The former Oxford University student first arrived at Franklin’s Gardens back in 2015, following stints at London Irish and Saints’ East Midlands rivals Leicester Tigers.

Gibson certainly hit the ground running in his first season in Northampton, starting 24 matches and playing a staggering 1,435 minutes of Premiership Rugby.

A stellar 2017/18 season then saw him not only named in the BT Sport ‘Dream Team’ at the Premiership Rugby awards – having made more turnovers than any other player during the season – but Gibson also scooped the prestigious Saints Supporters Club Player of the Season trophy for his efforts.

Under Chris Boyd he has once again impressed the Franklin’s Gardens faithful this term, making 31 appearances so far and scoring two tries, and Saints’ director of rugby is confident the flanker will continue to flourish at the Club.

He said: “Jamie has been one of Saints’ most-consistent performers in recent seasons, so we’re delighted to see him commit his future to the Club.

“He is a player with a high work-rate, an excellent attitude and a huge desire to fight for his place within a very competitive back row here at Franklin’s Gardens.

“I know the Club’s loyal supporters love his doggedness on the field so I’m sure this will prove to be a popular signing, but most importantly keeping Jamie here strengthens our squad as we look to push for more silverware during the coming seasons.”
