Curtis John Langdon (born 3 August 1997)[1] is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a hooker for Premiership Rugby club Northampton Saints.

Career[edit]

Langdon began playing rugby age six in Weston-super-mare at Hornets Rugby club and joined London Irish at fifteen.[2] On 10 August 2016 he left London Irish to join Sale Sharks.[3] In September 2020 Langdon scored a try for the Sale side that defeated Harlequins in the final of the Premiership Rugby Cup.[4]

Langdon scored a try for the England under-20 team against Italy in the 2016 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[5] In June 2021 he was selected by Eddie Jones for the senior England team[6] and on 4 July 2021 made his Test debut against the United States at Twickenham.[7]

In March 2022 it was confirmed that Langdon would end his six year spell with Sale to join Worcester Warriors.[8] Shortly after this transfer Worcester encountered financial issues and in October 2022 his contract along with every other Warriors player was terminated.[9] He subsequently joined Montpellier for the remainder of their Top 14 season.[10] After one campaign in France he joined Northampton Saints for the 2023-2024 season.[10]
