Northampton Saints hooker Tom Cruse has signed a contract extension with the Premiership club.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has made nine appearances and was given only his second start in their <\/span>play-off semi-final defeat by Saracens.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“We’ve got a very strong group of hookers at the Club, with everyone learning from each other and driving each other forward,” Cruse said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That competition is exactly what you want within your squad in every position, so it’s really exciting to think about how much we can all grow together as a group and build on what we did last year.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cruse began his career at Sale and had spells with Rotherham and London Irish before a six-year spell with Wasps.<\/span><\/p>\n

He moved to Scotland last November after Wasps went into administration, but said returning to the Premiership was a “big pull” because he was away from his family in Edinburgh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Full details of his new contract have not been disclosed by Saints.<\/span><\/p>\n

Director of rugby Phil Dowson said: “We were hugely impressed by Tom when he came into the group midway through the season – impressed by his competitive nature, by his communication skills, by the energy he brings in everything he does, and by the way he drives our standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With Tom signed up alongside the other hookers already in place for the 2023-24 season, we’re confident we have one of the strongest and deepest line-ups in that position in the Premiership.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
