Originally part of Worcester Warriors’ Academy set-up, George Hendy first caught the eye of Saints’ coaches aged just 13 in one of the Club’s junior sevens tournaments, and progressed into Northampton’s Senior Academy three years later ahead of the 2021/22 season.
Also comfortable at fly-half and centre, Hendy made the No.15 shirt his own in his final year of Under-18s with Saints, and the former KES Stratford student progressed from Shipston-on-Stour RFC to join Saints full-time in the summer of 2021.
The fullback made his senior debut for the Club against London Irish in the Premiership Rugby Cup in November of that year, scoring in the process, one of four tries he ran in during his first three appearances.
Hendy then played in the Gallagher Premiership for the first time against Bristol Bears in April 2022, while he has also gained experience in the Championship with partner club Bedford Blues.
International honours came with selection by England Under-20s, with Hendy playing in the 2022 Six Nations before going on to appear for Alan Dickens’ side in the Summer Series.
