Former Harlequins loosehead prop joins Saints on short-term deal
South African prop Jordan Els has joined Saints on a short-term deal ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The experienced loosehead arrives from Harlequins, where he made 58 appearances across a seven-season spell in south-west London.


Having also represented Ealing Trailfinders, London Scottish and the URC’s Sharks, Els adds valuable experience to Saints’ front-row options as the squad prepares for the new campaign.
The 29-year-old linked up with his new team-mates at Franklin’s Gardens last week as Saints returned for pre-season training.
