Dylan Hartley speaks of his pride following Northampton's thrilling victory over Saracens in the Aviva Premiership final.

Northampton Saints captain Dylan Hartley has spoken of his pride following his team's thrilling victory over Saracens in the Aviva Premiership final.

The Saints clinched the title for the first time in the club's history on Saturday as they saw off Sarries 24-20 after extra time at Twickenham Stadium.

"I haven't slept all week and now a finish like that... I don't think I've got any hairs or fingernails left," Hartley told BT Sport.

"It means everything to win it. We were so close last year. I'm proud to do it, not just for the town, but for all these special people here. I'm so proud of the squad."

Northampton reached last year's Aviva Premiership final before losing out to Leicester Tigers.
