(Reuters) - Welsh international winger George North will leave English Premiership side Northampton Saints and return home on a national dual contract at the end of the season, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) said on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has scored 26 tries in 54 league appearances since joining Saints from Scarlets at the start of the 2013-14 season. "This has been an incredibly hard decision," North, who has 69 caps for Wales, said in a club statement. Wales coach Warren Gatland said a decision on which team North will join will be made in the coming months. "It is fantastic that George is returning to Wales on a National Dual Contract," Gatland told WRU's website.
