Saracens have confirmed the powerful signing of Samoa international prop Tietie Tuimauga ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The 31-year-old front-rower, who can operate on both sides of the scrum, will make the switch to StoneX Stadium following a two-year stint in the French ProD2 with Montauban.

Global Experience, Local Impact

Tuimauga brings serious international flavour to North London, having racked up eight caps for Samoa and plied his trade in five different countries. He first made his mark in New Zealand with Wellington before heading to Connacht, where he gained valuable URC and Champions Cup experience.

From there, he packed down in the French Top 14 with Brive and most recently brought his explosive power to Montauban.

Mark McCall Backs His New Man

Saracens’ Director of Rugby Mark McCall is confident Tuimauga will bring both physicality and nous to the Sarries engine room.

“We are excited to welcome Tietie to our club. He will bring plenty of experience and know-how to our front-row, and with his scrummaging ability, we believe he will be a real asset for us moving forward,” McCall said.
