Club career

Langdon began playing rugby age six in Weston-super-Mare at Hornets Rugby club and joined London Irish aged fifteen. [2] [3] On 10 August 2016, he left London Irish to join Sale Sharks. [4] Langdon scored a try for the Sale side that defeated Harlequins in the 2019–20 Premiership Rugby Cup final. [5]

In March 2022, it was confirmed that Langdon would end his six-year spell with Sale to join Worcester Warriors. [6] Shortly after this transfer, Worcester encountered financial issues and in October 2022 his contract along with every other Warriors player was terminated. [7] He subsequently joined Montpellier for the remainder of their 2022–23 Top 14 season. [8]

After one campaign in France it was announced in January 2023 that Langdon would leave to join Northampton Saints. [8] In his first season at the club, he played in their 2023–24 European Rugby Champions Cup semi-final elimination against Leinster. [9] That same month, he was named in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Season for the 2023–24 campaign. [10] He then started in the 2023–24 Premiership Rugby final which saw Northampton defeat Bath to become league champions. [11]

Langdon scored a try during the 2024–25 European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final victory over Castres. [12] He started in the 2025 European Rugby Champions Cup final at Millennium Stadium as Northampton lost to Bordeaux Bègles to finish runners up. [13]

International career

Langdon represented England under-18 at the 2015 Rugby Europe Under-18 Championship. [2] The following year saw him score a try for the England under-20 team against Italy in the 2016 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [14] Langdon was a member of the side that completed a grand slam during the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [15] [16]

In June 2021, Langdon was included in the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones. [17] On 4 July 2021, he made his Test debut starting against the United States at Twickenham. [18] A week later, he made a second appearance in a victory over Canada. [19]

In January 2025, following an injury to Jamie George, Langdon was called into the senior training squad for the 2025 Six Nations. [20] On 21 February 2025, after not playing for England during the 2025 Six Nations despite being called up to the senior training squad, [20] Langdon was named as vice-captain for the England A game against Ireland Wolfhounds at Ashton Gate on 23 February 2025. [21] [22]

Langdon was included in the squad for the 2025 England rugby union tour of Argentina and the United States. [23] He replaced Theo Dan as a substitute to earn his first cap since 2021 in a 22–17 victory which completed a series win against Argentina. [24] [25] In their last tour fixture, Langdon scored his first try during a 40–5 victory over the United States. [26]
