Eddie Hearn signs Henry Pollock to ignite rugby

Published April 30, 2026 · Updated April 30, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Eddie Hearn has signed Northampton Saints back row Henry Pollock to his Matchroom agency, aiming to elevate the player's profile and spark a mainstream crossover for rugby.

Eddie Hearn believes the 21-year-old can "single-handedly ignite the sport." While Pollock currently boasts 37% public awareness—placing him joint-second among current players—he trails football stars like Jude Bellingham (71%). Hearn has also signed Bath playmaker Finn Russell to the agency, seeking to replicate the crossover success of legends like Jonah Lomu. sportnewz.click
