Northampton Saints hooker Robbie Smith has signed a new contract.

The 25-year-old Scot has signed an undisclosed-length deal with the Premiership club.

Saints say he will remain at Franklin's Gardens "past the end of the current season".

"Northampton Saints is definitely the best place for me to continue my rugby journey. I love the boys here. From day one, my girlfriend and I have been welcomed in with open arms," he said.

Dumfries-born Smith started his career with Newton Stewart and also played north of the border for Ayr and Glasgow Warriors before heading south to join Bedford Blues.

He then spent two seasons with Newcastle Falcons before joining Saints for the 2022-23 season.
