Promotion for McNamee

Ireland Under-21 blindside Brett McNamee has been promoted to the Northampton Saints Senior Squad following an impressive period at the club’s Academy.

The 20-year-old Northampton-born starlet said: "This really is a dream come true for me. I have supported Saints all my life and watched the club play from the terraces. It is a great opportunity and a great honour to officially become a part of the first team squad."
