Saracens have confirmed three departures and three signings so far - which includes poaching an exciting youngster from local rivals Harlequins.
OUTGOINGS
Vincent Koch to Wasps: The 6ft 1in, 120kg forward, renowned for his great athletic ability, has made over 100 appearances for Saracens, helping them to win two European Champions Cups and two Premiership titles.
Sean Reffell to Ulster: The 23-year-old back-rower has made 39 appearances for the club since graduating from the academy, and went on to become the Young Player of the Season last year after his displays in the Greene King IPA Championship.
Irish-qualified Reffell, who made an astonishing 39 tackles in one match back in 2019 will be heading to the Kingspan Stadium at the end of the season for a new challenge.
Richard Barrington to agen: The 31-year-old loosehead, who has made 220 appearances for the Men in Black in his nine-year spell in North London has been a huge part of the success both domestically and on the European front.
He played in all four of the successful Premiership finals at Twickenham, and also won three European Cups to add to his incredible record at Saracens.
INCOMINGS
Hugh Tizard from Harlequins: The second-rower burst on to the scene in recent years at the Twickenham Stoop, and has made 27 appearances for the West Londoners despite being just 21 years of age.
Standing at 6ft 5” and weighing 120kg he will add considerable size to the pack which already includes the likes of Maro Itoje, Nick Isiekwe, Tim Swinson and Callum Hunter-Hill in his position.
Christian Judge from Worcester Warriors: The tighthead prop, who originally joined back in 2018 on loan from Cornish Pirates went on to make 22 appearances for the Men in Black that season, including the Premiership Final victory over Exeter Chiefs at Twickenham.
He then signed for Bath and has since moved to Worcester, but the 29-year-old prop who will add 120kg to the front-row is now heading back to the capital for a second spell in Red and Black.
Brandon Jackson (promoted from academy): The exciting 20-year-old centre shone during his first two matches for the Men in Black against Harlequins and London Irish in the Premiership Cup, and has been rewarded with a new deal.
