Sam Olver

Sam Olver is a professional rugby union player currently playing at Northampton Saints. Olver plays at fly-half and at just 22 years old has made 11 appearances for the Midlands side. He was coached at Oundle School by his father, John Olver, ex-England player.

Olver made his debut for Saints in 2013 when he came off the bench against Gloucester Rugby in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on 9 November 2013 where Olver's side won 33-6. The fly-half also scored his first points for the club during that game as he converted Alex Day's try in the 75th minute.

The fly-half made his Aviva Premiership debut the following season, coming on as a replacement in Saints' trip to Welford Road to face Leicester Tigers on 16 May 2015. Olver, however, is yet to score in the top-flight of English rugby, rather scoring all his 38 points in a Saints shirt so far in the Anglo-Welsh Cup.

Olver was also recognised with International age-group call-ups. The youngster played in four tests for the England U20s during their 2014 Six Nations. Olver scored 31 points during that competition including kicking the winning penalty as England faced Argentina on 10 June 2014.
