Pisi has 34 tries to his name so far for Northampton, and will go down as a Club legend after being an instrumental part of the side that notched up a historic Premiership and Challenge Cup double during Saints’ 2013/14 season.

“I’m very proud to have spent the majority of my career playing for Northampton Saints in front of this great crowd at Franklin’s Gardens,” he said.

“When I first came over, I didn’t know what to expect, but I have felt welcomed by the amazing rugby community here in Northampton ever since I first pulled on a Black, Green and Gold jersey.

“In seven seasons as a Saint I have been blessed enough to win some silverware, make lifelong uso’s [brothers] and create many unbelievable memories which I’ll always treasure.

“So my thanks go to all my teammates, coaches, trainers and physios, as well as the Club’s supporters, for making my time here so special. For now I’m really focused on helping the squad finish this season as strongly as possible, and I wish everyone here the best for the future.”

The younger sibling of another Saint, George Pisi, Ken arrived in Northampton one year after his brother back in 2012.

And he immediately hit the ground running after making the switch from North Harbour, playing a key role within the Saints side that reached back-to-back Premiership finals – lifting the trophy at the second attempt in 2014 with a 23-20 triumph over Saracens.
