Loose forward Sam Graham joined Northampton Saints ahead of the 2022/23 season after skippering Doncaster Knights to an impressive second-place finish in the Championship the previous campaign.
The back row made 28 Doncaster appearances in two seasons after joining the Knights from Bristol Bears, and was named club captain ahead of the 2021/22 campaign after winning the Players’ and Coaches’ Player of the Year awards during his first year at Castle Park.
Comfortable playing across the back row, Graham began his career at Chippenham RFC before joining Bath’s Academy and then Bristol.
He also spent time overseas developing his game with Auckland’s Massey RFC in New Zealand prior to joining the Bears, where he made ten first-team appearances and a further 15 while on loan with Hartpury.
