Northampton Saints Bolster Squad with Signing of Glasgow Warriors' Rising Star Amena Caqusau

Northampton Saints secure the signing of promising winger Amena Caqusau from Glasgow Warriors, adding depth and Fijian flair to their squad.

Northampton Saints have confirmed the signing of dynamic winger Amena Caqusau from Glasgow Warriors, with the talented youngster set to join the Premiership side ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Rising Star with International Pedigree

Caqusau, who represented Scotland at the U20 Six Nations in 2023, brings a unique blend of athleticism and skill to the Saints. Born in Salisbury, England, he qualifies for England but boasts Fijian heritage—a trait evident in his electrifying playing style. His father, a former British Army Sevens and XVs player, passed down the Fijian flair for breaking tackles and offloading under pressure.

Saints' Vision for Caqusau

"Amena’s potential is undeniable," said Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson. "We spotted him during last year’s U20 Six Nations, where his raw athleticism stood out. His ability to beat defenders and thrive in contact fits perfectly with our attacking philosophy."

The 20-year-old winger previously played for Glasgow Hutchesons Aloysians before earning a pro contract with Glasgow Warriors. Despite limited game time in Scotland, Dowson believes Northampton’s player development pathway will unlock his full potential.

Caqusau’s Excitement for the Move

"I’ve grown up watching the Premiership, and Saints’ style of rugby excites me," Caqusau said. "The league’s competitiveness and Northampton’s history of developing wingers—like those who’ve gone on to play internationally—made this an easy decision."

Strategic Acquisition for Saints

The signing underscores Northampton’s strategy to invest in young, high-ceiling talent. With Caqusau’s speed, power, and offloading ability, the Saints add depth to their backline ahead of a grueling Premiership campaign.

Key Takeaways:

  • Position: Wing
  • Age: 20
  • Heritage: Fijian/English
  • Previous Club: Glasgow Warriors
  • Strengths: Breaking tackles, offloads, acceleration
