Eddie Hearn Signs Rugby Star Henry Pollock for Global Push

Northampton back row Henry Pollock has joined Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom agency to boost his profile and mainstream appeal.

Hearn believes the 21-year-old can "single-handedly ignite the sport" and has also signed Bath playmaker Finn Russell to help close the gap with football's global stars.

Despite current awareness sitting at 37%, joint-second to Antoine Dupont but trailing football's Jude Bellingham, Pollock aims to follow the path of Jonah Lomu and become a crossover icon. forestarrow.rest
