'Some of the best years of my life' - Ramm says fond farewell to Saints
James Ramm has taken to social media to thank everyone at Saints for giving him 'some of the best years of my life so far'.
Ramm departed the club this summer as he gets set to head back home to Australia to join Western Force on a two-year deal.
First though, he will stop off in New Zealand to spend some time playing for Northland Rugby.
Ramm became a popular figure at Franklin's Gardens after joining Saints from the Waratahs in 2022.
He went on to win two Gallagher PREM titles, in 2024 and 2026, and helped Saints to reach the final of the Investec Champions Cup in 2025.
Ramm made 75 appearances for Saints, scoring 32 tries, and he won the club’s breakthrough player and players’ player of the season awards in 2023.
But Ramm is eager to return to Australia as he bids to make it into the international setup.
And that prompted the 28-year-old to opt to make the move to Western Force.
However, he clearly loved his time in Northampton.
And on Saturday afternoon, he posted a fond farewell message on Instagram.
It read: "Northampton I can't thank you enough for the past 4 years. I can confidently say they have been some of the best years of my life so far. To everyone who made it special, thank you for the memories. Thank you for the friendships, the support, the laughs, the tears and for welcoming us in with open arms. You've taught us that it's not about the place but the people in it.
"Now onto the next adventure."
