England hooker Jack Singleton has signed a permanent deal with Gloucester after initially joining on loan from Saracens for the 2020/21 season.
The 24-year-old, who has won three caps since making his debut in 2019, has established himself as a fan favourite at Kingsholm since arriving at the club.
Singleton started his career as part of the Saracens Academy, but joined Worcester Warriors ahead of the 2014-15 season where he made his first team breakthrough.
He was capped by England U20s and named as Worcester’s 2016/17 Young Player of the Season, earning a call up to Eddie Jones’ England squad, playing against the Barbarians in a non-capped international and touring Argentina and South Africa in successive summers.
He moved back to Saracens ahead of the 2019-20 season and earned his first England caps in the home and away Rugby World Cup warm up matches against Wales, and appeared as a replacement against the USA in Kobe in Rugby World Cup 2019.
