After one campaign in France it was announced in January 2023 that Langdon would leave to join Northampton Saints.[8] In his first season at the club, he played in their 2023–24 European Rugby Champions Cup semi-final elimination against Leinster.[9] That same month, he was named in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Season for the 2023–24 campaign.[10] He then started in the 2023–24 Premiership Rugby final which saw Northampton defeat Bath to become league champions.[11]
Langdon scored a try during the 2024–25 European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final victory over Castres.[12] He started in the 2025 European Rugby Champions Cup final at Millennium Stadium as Northampton lost to Bordeaux Bègles to finish runners up.[13]
