Jack Nowell turns down Saracens move, confirms where he will be playing next season

The 30-year-old, who made the transition across the English Channel at the beginning of this season, concluded a remarkable 12-year tenure with Exeter Chiefs.

Amidst the notable departures from Sandy Park last summer, Nowell and his family have seamlessly adapted to their new environment, both on and off the pitch.

Despite preliminary discussions with Saracens, as disclosed by RUCK last month, Nowell appears set to remain with La Rochelle, as reported by The Rugby Paper.

The champions of London's Premiership are currently in initial talks with England wingers Jonny May, and Joe Cokanasiga regarding a potential transfer to the capital once the season concludes.

Saracens are actively exploring options for their back three for the upcoming season, considering the departures of experienced Scotland and Lions tourist Sean Maitland, as well as Alex Lewington and Ben Harris from the club.

May well and truly announced himself on the international stage with an extraordinary maiden Test try against New Zealand in November 2014.

Marchant is gearing up for a comeback on the international stage by securing a move to Premiership champions Saracens from French side Stade Francais.

The 27-year-old played a crucial role for Steve Borthwick's national team during last year's World Cup, contributing to their third-place finish.

Marchant featured in six starting games out of seven and made a substitute appearance in the remaining match.

Despite having committed to joining the Top 14 and Stade Francais before the tournament, an agreement was in place that would render him unavailable for Test selection during his tenure with the Parisian club.

As reported by the Mail Online, Marchant's stint in the French capital is expected to be a brief one, with Saracens, the Premiership titleholders, on the verge of bringing him back to his home country.

Stade Francais currently holds the second position in the Top 14, trailing behind Racing 92. However, the allure of resuming international rugby is believed to be a significant factor influencing Marchant's decision.

The 22-year-old has inked a deal with the London club, set to be in effect for the 2024/25 season. However, Saracens are keen on fast-tracking his integration into their squad, aiming to bolster their ranks sooner rather than later.
