Ben Earl signs huge new deal to become one of Sarries highest-earners

Saracens have confirmed that Ben Earl has extended his contract at the club.

The back-rower, who was the Gallagher Premiership Player of the Season last year has gone from strength to strength in recent times and is now regarded as one of the best back-rowers in the league.

Earl, who has 13 England caps is closing in on a century for Saracens after cementing himself as one of the first names on the team sheet alongside the likes of Billy Vunipola and Theo McFarland in the back-row.

The 24-year-old’s performance level has continued to rise in recent times, with a highlight coming during the Premiership Semi-Final when his hat-trick ensured Saracens’ passage through to the showpiece at Twickenham. 

Earl is thrilled to have committed his future to the club.

“Saracens is the club I call home and I’m delighted to have extended my contract here. We have a massively exciting journey ahead over the coming years and I’m determined to play my part in making sure we achieve our goals.”

Director of Rugby Mark McCall is pleased to have Earl in his squad moving forward.

“Ben is an important and popular member of our squad who is well respected by everyone at the training ground. His performances over the last few seasons have been consistently strong but his game has gone to a different level at the start of this campaign. We are obviously delighted that he will be extending his time at the club.”
