The Northampton Saints hooker, who has amassed 66 England caps since making his debut in 2008, is also the youngest captain in the history of the Aviva Premiership.

Dylan Hartley said of the deal: “I’m extremely excited to be an ambassador for a brand so committed to the game of rugby, and steeped in heritage.”

Canterbury’s CEO, Chris Stephenson, added: “We are delighted to announce that Dylan Hartley has joined the Canterbury brand ambassador stable. Dylan’s career to date has been fantastic. We are looking forward to working with Dylan, whose roots also stem from New Zealand and wish him every success in the upcoming RBS 6 Nations”

The new deal sees Dylan Hartley join the likes of Will Greenwood, Kevin Sinfield, Geoff Parling and Sam Burgess as Canterbury ambassadors.
