Alex Coles set himself the goal of playing for England at the World Cup, and he moved a step closer after the Northampton Saints lock was handed his first enhanced EPS contract this summer.
Northampton Saints lock Alex Coles has revealed he received a "nervy" phone call from England head coach Steve Borthwick to confirm he had been awarded his first enhanced EPS contract. The 27-year-old forward, who has earned 22 caps for England, aims to secure a place in the squad for the upcoming World Cup in Australia.

Additionally, teammate Henry Pollock is set to make his 50th appearance for the Saints in their season opener against the Newcastle Red Bulls.
