He played for more than 60 minutes on his debut against Worcester and helped Saints onto their first league win over their Midlands rivals since the Warriors were promoted.
Kydd made six appearances following that memorable day and is a useful man to have around as he covers fly-half, centre and full-back and has a mean goal-kicking boot on him too.
