Northampton Saints Announce Key Player Departures: Seabrook, Haffar & Logan Set for New Challenges

Northampton Saints confirm the departure of three players after 2023-24 season, including try-scoring wing Tom Seabrook and rising star Reuben Logan, as club reshapes squad for future campaigns.

Northampton Saints have confirmed three players will depart Franklin's Gardens this summer, marking the end of an era for key contributors to their recent success.

Key Departures:

  • Tom Seabrook (Wing): Scored 15 tries in 28 appearances since 2023 move from Gloucester
  • Tarek Haffar (Prop): Made 24 appearances following transfer from London Irish
  • Reuben Logan (Back Row): 19-year-old prospect with two senior appearances, set to join Sale Sharks

Notable Achievements:

  • Seabrook's January hat-trick powered Saints' crucial 28-17 victory over Munster
  • Haffar anchored the scrum during Saints' 2022-23 title-winning campaign
  • Logan represents second-generation rugby talent through parents Gabby (BBC Sport) and Kenny Logan (ex-Scotland international)

"All three have shown tremendous commitment through two demanding seasons," said Director of Rugby Phil Dowson. "While we'll properly honor their contributions this summer, current focus remains on finishing strong."

What's Next:

  • Saints preparing for summer recruitment drive
  • Logan's move to Sale continues family's rugby legacy
  • Club maintains playoff push in Gallagher Premiership

This restructuring follows Saints' policy of balancing experienced players with academy development, having recently extended contracts with 17 squad members.
