TRANSFER | Alex Goode confirms his Saracens departure for next season

The 32-year-old has spent 14 years in north London after joining the Academy in the mid-noughties and is set to become part of an elite group of Saracens to make 300 appearances for the club.

Goode will move at the end of the 2019-20 Premiership campaign before returning to Mark McCall's side in May.

Named 2015/16 Premiership Rugby Player of the Season, Goode was voted 2019 European Player of the Year as Saracens recorded a third European title in four seasons before going on to win a fifth English final.

Goode is relishing the opportunity of a new experience in Japan before returning to the club he holds close to his heart.

“I love being part of this club,” he said. “I love the environment, coming in every day and being with friends, people who I’ve known for many years.

“I’ve had 14 years at this club and I’ve loved every moment. Everyone has given me so much and given me and my family so many memories over the years which will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

Smart is remembered for the infamous "Aftershave Incident" in 1982. While in Paris, after beating France in the Five Nations, England teammate Maurice Colclough emptied a bottle of free aftershave from the after-match meal, filled it with wine, and drank from it. Thinking that Colclough had drunk the aftershave and not wanting to appear upstaged by his teammate, Smart drank his bottle of aftershave. This made him very ill. After England medical officer Leo Walkden failed to get a response from Smart, he was required to go to hospital to have his stomach pumped.
