The former England U18 flanker and captain was voted the club's player of the month for September after a number of strong performances in the Premiership Cup and last month marked his first appearance in the U20s Six Nations with a try hattrick for England in Italy.
He finished the job on Friday night with another try and a starring role in France as England claimed the trophy.
But Pollock, who turned 19 in January, is not one to get carried away by praise or accolades and is now eager to get back to club action, whether it is with the Saints or his loan club Bedford.
Pollock made his first Premiership appearance off the bench in the East Midlands derby at Welford Road in November, but Northampton are rich in back row options although, with Courtney Lawes and Lewis Ludlam moving on next season, there could be a potential opening.
"I have taken a lot from the various games I have played in this season," said Pollock, who was spotted by Northampton when he was 13 and at Buckingham. "Bedford was good for me because I had game time there, something some lads struggle for. Making my Premiership debut for my boyhood club in the East Midlands derby was surreal and I have really enjoyed being with the U20s.
