Pollock was voted player of the match in Northampton's wins over Leicester and Exeter in the Prem semi-finals and final respectively last season Henry Pollock is set to demand a substantial increase on his current Northampton contract to stay at Franklin's Gardens, with agent Eddie Hearn suggesting annual earnings of £1m are the going rate for the 21-year-old star. "He's certainly a seven-figure player," said Hearn, who met with Pollock on his yacht off Monaco last month, to the Daily Telegraph., external "The way rugby's going and what Pollock is doing, his value over the next couple of years will skyrocket, and I think the value of rugby will." Pollock's current deal with Saints, signed in December 2024 and set to expire in summer 2027, is thought to be worth £150,000 a year. Since agreeing those terms, the back row has made his England debut, toured with the British and Irish Lions and was a key part of the Saints side that reached the Champions Cup final last year and won the Prem title in June. His exuberant on-pitch persona, relishing confrontation and celebrating tries with rehearsed routines, has attracted attention and a legion of young fans. Northampton's ability to match Pollock's wage demands may be hampered by a league-wide £6.4m salary cap and their own generation of young stars.
