Samuel Northmore (2 March 1872 – 18 March 1946)[1] was an English rugby union footballer who played in the 1890s. He played at representative level for England, and at club level for Millom,[2] as a fly-half, before switching to rugby league in 1897.

Playing career

Northmore won a cap for England while at Millom in 1897 against Ireland.[3]

After Millom converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code in 1897, Northmore was one of the players who voted to change codes and continued to play for the club. At some later date he transferred to Barrow.[4]
