Hide AdWaldouck moved to Saints from Wasps in 2012 and eventually departed in 2015 as Luther Burrell and George Pisi dominated the game time at centre.
Waldouck went on to play for London Irish and Ohio Aviators before linking up with Newcastle Falcons.
He also captained Oxford University while achieving his Masters degree in 2019.
And Waldouck is now ready for the next chapter in his rugby career.
