Overview
- Henry Pollock signed with Matchroom Talent Agency on Friday, becoming Eddie Hearn’s first rugby client alongside UFC champion Tom Aspinall.
- The 21-year-old Northampton Saints back-row is an England international and was the youngest British & Irish Lion last summer.
- Matchroom is expected to lead Pollock’s brand and sponsorship work while Stellar Rugby continues to handle parts of his business.
- Hearn called Pollock a “superstar” and said more high-profile signings will follow as the new agency grows its roster.
- The deal extends Matchroom’s multi-sport management beyond boxing and MMA and follows Hearn’s recent push to tap rugby’s commercial potential.
