Saracens have announced that Ben Earl has pledged his future to the club by inking a fresh, long-term contract.
The back-rower, who has taken the Rugby World Cup by storm so far will remain at StoneX Stadium for the next chapter of his career after putting pen to paper on a new deal.
The 25-year-old, who has already made 111 appearances for the club since making his debut back in 2016 won his first Premiership title for the Men in Black back in May after a consistent campaign which saw him named in the TNT Sports Dream Team at the end of the season.
He has captained the North Londoners on a number of occasions and will be looking to continue his leadership in the years to come. His form over recent years has earned him plenty of accolades including the 21/22 Premiership Player of the Season, and he also now has 21 England caps to his name.
The former England Under 20’s skipper has been a standout performer in England’s World Cup campaign so far and will be looking to transfer that form back to Saracens once the tournament reaches its climax.
Earl is delighted to have signed a new Saracens contract.
“I’m over the moon to have re-signed at Saracens. It’s my boyhood club and it’s one that I love and care for deeply, it’s my home. The players and staff are like family to me and I can’t wait to achieve more with them.
The club has made me a better player and human being and I can’t wait to continue my journey with Saracens.”
Director of Rugby Mark McCall is thrilled that Earl will be staying at StoneX.
“Ben has been part of Saracens since he was 14 years old, growing from a promising young academy talent to one of the stand-out players in world rugby.
He has Saracens in his DNA, and we are thrilled he has re-signed with the club. His qualities as a player and as a person will be central to all we hope to achieve in the years to come.”

 Kyle Sinckler linked with shock Bristol Bears departure

A cheeky report from Midi Olympique has us thinking that up to four of our England rugby lads might just fancy a little French adventure after the Rugby World Cup! 🏉🇫🇷
Now, while our boys are smashing it with two wins in a row against Argentina and Japan in Pool D at the World Cup, it seems some of them are daydreaming about kick-starting their French careers. 🤔🥖🍷

#1. Kyle Sinckler

Sinckler, currently 30 years old, stands at a crucial juncture in his career and is reportedly approaching the conclusion of his contract with Bristol under the leadership of Pat Lam.
The former Harlequins stalwart and British & Irish Lions representative is now entering his prime as a prop, making him a topic of discussion, particularly with Clermont showing a strong interest in the formidable front-row player.

#2. Will Stuart

The righthead prop, emerging as a prominent figure in the English rugby front row, finds himself in a comparable contract situation as he nears the end of his term with Bath.
Reports suggest that Toulon, who had initially targeted Demba Bamba, are now contemplating Will Stuart as a potential alternative.

#3. Lewis Ludlam

Ludlam, a versatile back-row forward renowned for his physical prowess and exceptional work ethic, has also drawn the attention of Top 14 teams. Should he make such a move, it would temporarily interrupt his promising England career.
The Northampton Saints back-row player has left a strong impression during England's time in France.

#4. Elliot Daly

A utility back from Saracens has recently garnered significant attention from French recruitment circles. This former British & Irish Lions veteran's versatility and extensive experience have rendered him a prized asset within Steve Borthwick's England squad, and multiple French clubs are reportedly eager to tap into his skillset.
