Jonny May set to leave Gloucester with Premiership rival leading the chase to sign veteran winger

Saracens are in the early stages of discussions with England and Gloucester winger Jonny May regarding a potential move to the capital at the conclusion of the season.

The men in black had also spoken to Joe Cokanasiga, but the powerhouse winger decided to sign a contract extension with Bath.

The Premiership champions actively exploring options for the back three in the upcoming season, considering experienced Scotland and Lions tourist Sean Maitland, along with Alex Lewington and Ben Harris are set to leave the club.

Lewington confirmed his retirement from rugby at the end of the season yesterday.

May well and truly announced himself on the international stage with an extraordinary maiden Test try against New Zealand in November 2014.

His long-range run in the opening minutes illustrated his pace, panache, shimmy, check and go. Injury prevented him from playing in the subsequent Six Nations and touring Australia in June 2016.

However he returned after 13 months’ absence with a try against South Africa at Twickenham that November.

Jonny was the standout performer against the Springboks in the three-Test series, finishing the top scorer with three tries, including the match-winning score in Cape Town.

That form continued as he was top try scorer in the 2019 Six Nations as he crossed six times, and on the way to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final he crossed twice against Australia in the quarter-final on his 50th cap.

May was called up to Steve Borthwick’s squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup after Anthony Watson was ruled out through injury.
