Jared Wright
The Northampton team celebrate during the final rugby union Aviva Premiership match between Saracens and Northampton Saints held at the Twickenham Stadium in London,UK on May 31, 2014.

The 2014 Premiership winning Northampton Saints team.

Northampton Saints last clinched a Premiership title in the 2013/14 season, defeating Saracens 24-20 in the final after extra-time.

10 years on, and Northampton have reached the final once again, where they defeated Bath 25-21 to end a decade-long wait for a second title.

We take a look at where the stars who won the?Premiership and Challenge Cup back in 2014 are now.

15 Ben Foden

After playing over 200 matches for Northampton Saints, England full-back Ben Foden brought his illustrious Premiership career to an end by heading to the USA and joining Rugby United New York.

He would play more than 30 games for the side before officially hanging up his boots.

Following his retirement, Foden tried his hand at coaching, working as the Iona University head coach and worked part-time with Fordham University. Now, he is a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman in New York.

14 Ken Pisi

The younger Pisi brother, Ken, continued to represent Saints up and until his departure at the end of the 2018/19 season having played well over 100 times for the Saints.

13 George Pisi

Older brother George was renowned for his hard-hitting defence and at the end of the 2015/16 season, he headed to Australia linking up with the Western Force after over 130 appearances for the Saints.

The brothers have both returned to New Zealand since hanging up their boots.

12 Luther Burrell

The powerful centre, who played professional rugby league and union, left Northampton in 2019 having represented the side over 120 times before returning to league for a season with Warrington. He did come back to the Premiership with Newcastle before bringing his career to an end in 2022.

Since retiring, Luther Burrell has opened up about his mental health issues as well as racism in rugby. He is now an engaging keynote speaker and conference host.

11 George North

The Wales legend left Northampton Saints in 2018 to link up with the Ospreys after nearly 100 games for the Premiership outfit.

Following the conclusion of the 2024 Six Nations, George North announced his retirement from Test rugby after 121 caps for Wales.

North is set to continue his career in France after signing with Pro D2 club Provence ahead of the 2024/25 season.

10 Stephen Myler

One of Northampton Saints’ greatest ever players, Stephen Myler played 330 times for the Premiership club before taking up a contract with London Irish in 2018 where he played two seasons.

He made the switch to the Ospreys in 2020 where he would finish his career following the conclusion of the 2022/23 season. The former fly-half has worked with the Wales Women’s team in a coaching role.

9 Kahn Fotuali’i

After leaving Northampton in 2016, Kahn Fotuali’i continued his career at Bath until joining Montpellier in 2019.

8 Sam Dickinson

Sam Dickinson stayed with Northampton Saints until 2018 before stints at Moseley and Ealing Trailfinders. At the age of 39, he is still turning out for Caldy RFC and featured for the side in the Premiership Rugby Cup during the 2023/24 season. Away from the rugby pitch, he is a self-employed woodworker making bespoke furniture pieces.

7 Tom Wood

Another all-time Northampton Saints great, Tom Wood hung up his boots in 2022 having notched up well over a double ton of appearances for the club. The former Saints captain has since stepped into the business world and in 2023 was appointed to a role within Premiership Rugby’s new Sporting Commission to help transform and strengthen the league’s?governance.

6 Calum Clark

Back-rower Calum Clark joined Saracens from Northampton in 2017 and would go on to play over 50 matches for the Londoners before hanging up his boots to take up a new position in the club as their Wellbeing and Personal Development Manager.

4 Samu Manoa

He went into coaching after hanging up his boots and returning to his old club, Colchester Rugby, as a forwards coach and also worked as a coach at St Joseph’s College.

1 Alex Corbisiero

The England and British & Irish Lions prop’s career was brought to a halt in 2016 after a succession of knee injuries. While he initially took a sabbatical, he later confirmed that he would not be returning to the rugby pitch. In 2019, Corbisiero was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which later spread to his lymph nodes, leading to a further spell of chemotherapy and ultimately beat the cancer.

Now, the scrum enthusiast is putting his knowledge of the set-piece to good use as the scrum coach of the San Diego Legion and works as a NBC rugby commentator. He is also a director at ASM sports group and Team Corbs.
