Dylan Hartley re-signs new Saints deal and re-appointed as captain

Northampton Saints has today announced that Dylan Hartley has both signed a new contract and been appointed as the club’s captain for the second time.

“Dylan has rightly received recognition as a superb captain for club and country,” said Director of rugby Jim Mallinder.

“He led the team during a very successful period for us, has the respect of the rest of the squad and coaches alike, and knows what it takes to win silverware..."

The 31-year-old, who has made 229 appearances in his 12 years at Franklin’s Gardens, had the armband during the club’s most successful ever extended period between 2009 and 2015.

These six years saw the Premiership, European Rugby Challenge Cup and Anglo-Welsh Cup trophies all be lifted, several other cup finals be reached – including the 2011 European Rugby Champions Cup final – and the team finish top of the Premiership table for the first time in its history.
