Henry Pollock agrees an extension with Northampton Saints, turning down rival offers that his adviser, Eddie Hearn, says were worth several hundred thousand pounds more. Hearn says the new deal will earn Pollock over £400,000 a year, after the player chose to stay with Saints rather than move to another club.
Both outlets report the same claim from Hearn: Pollock’s decision involves a significant pay cut compared with what competing offers would have provided. The coverage focuses on the financial difference between the Northampton extension and the alternatives available to the player, rather than providing details of which clubs made the offers or the length and structure of the contract beyond the annual value figure.
While the wording varies, the central point is consistent across sources: Pollock remains at Northampton Saints after rejecting more lucrative terms elsewhere, and Hearn frames the choice as Pollock “leaving money on the table” to extend with the club.
