Career
Langdon began playing rugby age six in Weston-super-mare at Hornets Rugby club and joined London Irish at fifteen.[2] On 10 August 2016 he left London Irish to join Sale Sharks.[3] In September 2020 Langdon scored a try for the Sale side that defeated Harlequins in the final of the Premiership Rugby Cup.[4]
Langdon scored a try for the England under-20 team against Italy in the 2016 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[5] In June 2021 he was selected by Eddie Jones for the senior England team[6] and on 4 July 2021 made his Test debut against the United States at Twickenham.[7]
