Northampton Saints promote Jim Henry to defence coach for 2026/27

Northampton Saints have promoted Jim Henry to defence coach ahead of the 2026/27 season, replacing Lee Radford, who left for Scotland's national set-up. Henry joined Saints as forwards transition coach in 2022 and led the first-team defence during last season's Premiership Rugby Cup. Former Saints hooker Reece Marshall (60 appearances, 2015–2022) fills Henry's previous academy role.
