Archie Benson made the switch to Northampton from Luctonians ahead of the 2023/24 season, having helped the National League 2 West side to their highest-ever league finishes in back-to-back seasons.
An ever-present in the Luctionians side, the back row made 26 league appearances in the 2022/23 season alone as Lucs ended up second on the ladder.
Benson began life in Gloucester’s Academy as he signed for the Cherry and Whites immediately after leaving Dean Close School in Cheltenham, where he captained the 1st XV and represented England at Under-18 level.
The 6’6”, 106kg flanker – who currently also studies Agriculture at Harper Adams University – impressed on trial at Saints earlier this season, and has now penned a full-time contract at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.
