Calum Clark was the leading monthly prize winner, scooping three awards during a season that earned him Saints’ players’ and supporters’ player of the year gongs.

During May, Wood contributed an impressive 37 carries and tackles combined, also adding 12 lineout takes and an Aviva Premiership play-off semi-final try against Saracens to the mix for good measure.

He is now enjoying a well-earned break ahead of the start of England’s Rugby World Cup preparations.
