COVENTRY Rugby winger James Martin has joined Premiership side Northampton Saints ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Martin scored 44 tries in 82 appearances for Coventry following his arrival at the club in 2019.
The 25-year-old scored a try against Saints for Coventry in the Premiership Rugby Cup at Franklin’s Gardens last season.
Northampton Saints director of rugby, Phil Dowson said: “He’s been a standout player in the Championship over the past couple of seasons, leading the try-scoring charts for Coventry and showing consistently that he’s an excellent finisher.
“He’s quick, strong, and a smart operator on the wing who showed when we played Coventry last season that he can beat defenders and create opportunities out of nothing.
“He’s hungry to prove himself at the next level, and when we spoke to him, it was clear that he’s ambitious and wants to challenge himself in a Premiership environment.
“That mindset is so important to us. We think he’s a player with potential and we’re excited to see how he grows within our environment.”
