George North "delighted" with Northampton Saints move

George North has described himself as "delighted" following confirmation that he will move to Northampton Saints in the summer.

The Wales international will leave Scarlets after signing a three-year contract with the Aviva Premiership side.

The 20-year-old told The Telegraph: "I'm delighted to have made the decision and I'm very excited about the move to a new club. Now I can just focus on the rugby.

"It's a big move. Northampton have got a good squad, they've recruited really well this year and it's a club which competes regularly in the Premiership and the Heineken Cup and hopefully over the next few seasons I can help them push on and win some silverware.

"Moving to Northampton is only going to challenge me and push my game forward."

North was the first teenager to secure 20 caps for Wales.
