Pollock won the Prem title with Northampton, beating Exeter in June's final Henry Pollock continues to play hardball in his negotiations over a Northampton Saints contract extension, insisting he is still open to offers from elsewhere, including overseas, and that he remains determined to be "quite selfish" over his future.
波洛克随北安普顿赢得了高级联赛冠军,在六月的决赛中击败了埃克塞特 亨利·波洛克在与北安普顿圣徒队续约谈判中依然强硬,坚称仍愿意接受包括海外在内的其他球队的报价,并且他决心对自己的未来"相当自私"。
The 21-year-old England back row's current deal, thought to be worth about £150,000 a year, expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign.
这位21岁的英格兰后排球员目前的合同,预计每年价值约15万英镑,将在即将到来的赛季结束时到期。
Pollock added Eddie Hearn to his advisory team earlier this year and the boxing impresario upped the ante by claiming his new client was "a seven-figure player", whose current pay shocked him.
波洛克今年早些时候将埃迪·赫恩加入了他的顾问团队,这位拳击大亨更进一步,声称他的新客户是"一位七位数的球员",而他目前的薪酬令他震惊。
"Northampton's been so great to me, I've been here my whole career and they've made me who I am.
"北安普顿对我非常好,我整个职业生涯都在这里,他们塑造了现在的我。
For me to stay here would be so special," said Pollock. "Obviously, I know it's not as easy as that and I know there's lots of moving parts that come into play.
我能留在这里会非常特别,"波洛克说。 "显然,我知道事情没那么简单,也知道有很多因素在其中。
I'm very open to new opportunities and I'm very open to exploring that. "I'm so young so I think it's only right that I assess those options and find the best decision for myself."
我非常愿意接受新的机会,也愿意去探索。 "我还年轻,所以我觉得权衡这些选项,找到最适合自己的决定是对的。"
He added: "Your career is so short that you look back on yourself and you almost regret not exploring new avenues, exploring different things.
他补充道:"你的职业生涯太短了,回顾自己时,你几乎会后悔没有去探索新的道路,探索不同的事物。
"I think for me, you almost have to be quite selfish in that aspect, think what's right for you.
"我觉得对我来说,你几乎得在这方面相当自私,想想什么对你来说是对的。
If that is staying here, then that's great, I'll be here for however long. If it's not, then I'll be open to new opportunities." Salary cap rules, which prevent players moving between Prem clubs from being designated as 'marquee' players whose pay is exempt from a £6.4m squad limit, make a big-money move to one of Saints' domestic rivals difficult.
如果那是留在这里,那很好,我会待多久。 如果不是,那我也会愿意接受新的机会。" 薪资帽规定禁止球员在顶级俱乐部间转会,被指定为"明星"球员,且其薪资免于640万英镑的阵容上限,这使得转会到圣徒队国内死敌的重金变得困难。
A move to a club in France or Japan would potentially be lucrative to Pollock, and a deal which began at the start of the 2027-28 season would not rule him out of contention for England's Rugby World Cup squad next autumn.
转会法国或日本俱乐部对波洛克来说可能有利可图,而自2027-28赛季开始签约的合同不会让他失去明年秋季英格兰橄榄球世界杯阵容的竞争资格。
However, he would become ineligible for England once he begins playing overseas and would lose the central contract, worth about £150,000 a year, that currently tops up his club wages.
然而,一旦开始海外比赛,他将失去代表英格兰国家队的资格,并失去目前为他俱乐部薪资补贴的合同,该合同每年约为15万英镑。
His off-pitch earnings - he has personal endorsement deals with various clothing brands - might also suffer away from the exposure of the Test arena and domestic rugby.
他在场外的收入——他与多个服装品牌签订了个人代言协议——也可能因测试赛场和国内橄榄球的曝光而受损。
Could Pollock really be paid £1m a season?
波洛克真的能拿到每季100万英镑的薪水吗?
It's complicated... "I definitely want to go and live in different countries, explore new sports, explore new avenues," said Pollock.
事情很复杂...... 波洛克说:"我肯定想去不同国家生活,探索新的运动,探索新的道路。"
"Again, that's all down to the management team.
"这完全是管理团队的功劳。
I'm just speaking to them loads and assessing my options and seeing what's right for myself." Northampton, who have reportedly made an offer that would raise Pollock's pay to £400,000 a year,, external remain confident they will secure an extension.
我只是和他们多聊,评估自己的选择,看看什么对我来说最合适。" 据报道,北安普顿已提出将波洛克年薪提高至40万英镑的报价,外界仍有信心他们将获得续约。
Saints allowed club captain George Furbank to leave for Harlequins in the summer, conscious that a raft of young stars in their title-winning team were due a pay rise.

There's a few moving parts that we need to put together, but I'm hopeful. As I said before, he wants to stay and we want to keep him. "Obviously there's some negotiations going between that but those two things are very positive."
我们还有几个环节需要整合,但我很有希望。 正如我之前说的,他想留下,我们也想留下他。 "显然两者之间有一些谈判,但这两点非常积极。"
