Jordan Onojaife is a professional rugby player at Northampton Saints.[1]
After impressing at summer camps at the Midlands club, Onojaife was signed into the Saints Academy and joined Stowe School where he continued his rugby.[2][3]
The lock began to feature in the Saints second team, the Wanderers, racking up game time in the Aviva 'A' League before making his senior team debut for the club in 2015 as a replacement when Saints faced Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership away from home.[4]
Onojaife also received International call-ups after joining Northampton and was a part of the England U18s side that became the European Champions in 2013 alongside now Saints teammates Howard Packman and Paul Hill.[5]
He was later called into the England U20s for the 2014 Junior World Championships in New Zealand.[6]
