Hearn signs Northampton's Henry Pollock for global stardom

Eddie Hearn has signed England and Lions back row Henry Pollock to his Matchroom agency, aiming to elevate the Northampton star to mainstream global recognition.

Hearn believes Pollock can "single-handedly ignite the sport" and plans to ensure he is "everywhere." The 21-year-old currently sits at 37% public awareness, behind only Owen Farrell among current players, but significantly below football stars like Jude Bellingham (71%). Hearn views Pollock and Finn Russell as key figures to bridge the gap between rugby and mainstream media appeal. orlando-books.blog
