Since joining the club, he has stood out for his athleticism, aerial ability and finishing, becoming a consistent threat in open play.<\/p>\n<p>Comfortable across the back three, Ramm brought versatility as well as flair, and his departure leaves a noticeable gap in Saints\u2019 attacking options. A move to Western Force represents both a homecoming and an opportunity to test himself in Super Rugby.<\/p>\n<p>Tom James \u2192 Saracens<\/p>\n<p>Tom James will remain in the Premiership but take the next step in his career with Saracens. While not always a headline name, he has been a reliable and adaptable member of the Saints backline.<\/p>\n<p>His ability to cover multiple positions made him a valuable squad player, and his consistency ensured he was regularly called upon when needed. At Saracens, he joins a highly competitive setup that will challenge him to elevate his game further.<\/p>\n<p>George Furbank \u2192 Harlequins<\/p>\n<p>The most high-profile departure is that of George Furbank, a product of Northampton\u2019s academy and a central figure in the team for several seasons. Equally comfortable at full-back or fly-half, he has been instrumental in shaping the club\u2019s attacking style.<\/p>\n<p>An England international with significant Premiership experience, Furbank combines vision, composure and creativity, making him a major asset for Harlequins. His exit represents not just the loss of a key player, but also of a leader who has been closely tied to the club\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p>EDITORS PICKS:<\/p>\n<p>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Ramm \u2192 Western Force James Ramm\u2019s exit sees one of Northampton\u2019s most dangerous attacking backs head back&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-552517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
