Northampton Saints can today announce that front-row duo Paul Hill and Reece Marshall have put pen to paper on contract extensions with the Club.

The pair have notched up 117 appearances in Black, Green and Gold between them, and are both enjoying an excellent 2018/19 season so far having featured regularly for Chris Boyd’s side.

Tighthead prop Hill has already experienced rugby at the very highest level at just 23 years old, having earned five England caps to date.

Arriving at Franklin’s Gardens from Yorkshire Carnegie in 2015, Hill had already represented his country at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-20 level – claiming the Junior World Championship title with the latter in 2014.

But after making his Premiership debut in his first full season as a Saint, the abrasive ball-carrier was called into Eddie Jones’ England squad for the 2016 Six Nations and also toured Australia with the Red Rose that summer.
