Career
[edit]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]
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.[6] Langdon was a member of the side that completed a grand slam during the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[7][8]
In June 2021 Langdon was included in the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones.[9] On 4 July 2021 Langdon made his Test debut starting against the United States at Twickenham.[10] A week later he made a second appearance in a victory over Canada.[11]
In March 2022 it was confirmed that Langdon would end his six year spell with Sale to join Worcester Warriors.[12] Shortly after this transfer Worcester encountered financial issues and in October 2022 his contract along with every other Warriors player was terminated.[13] He subsequently joined Montpellier for the remainder of their 2022–23 Top 14 season.[14]
After one campaign in France it was announced in January 2023 that Langdon would leave to join Northampton Saints.[14] In his first season at the club he played in their 2023–24 European Rugby Champions Cup semi-final elimination against Leinster.[15] That same month, he was named in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Season for the 2023–24 campaign.[16] He then started in the 2023–24 Premiership Rugby final which saw Northampton defeat Bath to become league champions.[17]
