After initially being released from the Saints Academy system in 2019, tighthead prop Ed Prowse linked up with the Senior Academy in Northampton ahead of the 2020/21 season.
On loan at Kettering RFC and Loughborough University, Prowse impressed in several outings for Northampton Wanderers before being offered his first full-time contract in the summer of 2020.
The young prop then went to Bedford Blues as part of Saints' strategic partnership, featuring in every Championship match in the shortened season that term.
He continued to feature regularly for the Blues in the 2021/22 season, with his performances there being rewarded by a senior debut for Saints against Saracens in the Premiership Rugby Cup in March 2022.
