Saracens have confirmed the signing of Robin Hislop after the forward departed Wasps earlier this month.
The prop has returned to the club after he had a spell on loan at StoneX Stadium in 2020, where he made three appearances for the Men in Black.
The 30-year-old has plenty of experience after spells at Edinburgh, Rotherham, Doncaster Knights, Wasps, and he has also represented his country Scotland at age grade level.
Hislop will add further depth to the number one department at Saracens, with the likes of Mako Vunipola, Eroni Mawi, Ralph Adams-Hale and James Flynn all competing for the shirt.
He is excited to be heading back to North London for another spell at StoneX.
“I’m delighted to be coming back to Sarries. It’s a great club, with a big focus on making people better. I’m excited to get started and fly into it.”
