Breach returns to StoneX Stadium fresh from a stellar Rugby World Cup campaign, where she finished as the top try-scorer for England’s title-winning Red Roses. Her performances cemented her reputation as one of the most clinical finishers in the women’s game.

Since joining Saracens from Harlequins in 2022, Breach has made an instant impact. In her first two seasons in North London, she crossed the whitewash 23 times, showcasing the blistering pace and attacking flair that have made her a fan favourite.

During her first season at the club, Breach switched between wing and fullback, adding versatility to her game while maintaining her trademark try-scoring form. Despite a hip injury early last year, she finished the season in style, scoring a stunning solo try against her former side Quins in the PWR semi-final, before finding the line again in the final.

That form carried over into international duty. Breach played in every match of England’s World Cup run — one of only two players to do so — and celebrated major milestones during the tournament, including her 50th cap and 50th international try.

Saracens Director of Rugby Alex Austerberry praised Breach’s influence on and off the field.

“We are absolutely delighted that Jess has extended her time here at Saracens,” Austerberry told the club’s website. “Jess has time and again illustrated why she is one of the most lethal finishers in world rugby.

“Her ability to create magic moments and change games in an instant makes her a truly special player. It is, however, her energy and work-rate that allow her talent to shine.”

Breach herself said she’s relishing the chance to build on her success and push for more silverware with Saracens.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time so far at Sarries,” Breach said. “It’s a great group and I’ve made some great friends while developing my game over the past three years.

“There’s a great buzz around this upcoming season — with so many incredible players in North London, it feels like our time. I can’t wait to get stuck in and continue to push for a PWR title.”
