Saracens, a powerhouse in the Premiership, have been strengthening their squad following the news that their esteemed captain Owen Farrell will be joining Racing 92 this summer.
Other notable departures include Alex Lewington, Sean Maitland, and the Vunipola brothers—Billy, Manu, and Mako.
The team has already signed five new players, ranging from promising young talents to experienced internationals.
#1. Louis Johnson
The fly-half, who can also play at full-back graduated from the Falcons academy, and at just 20 years of age he has already featured in the Gallagher Premiership for Newcastle.
Johnson made his debut for the Falcons in March 2022, and that season kicked a winning conversion in the final play of the match against Leicester Tigers to show his nerve.
He has represented England at Under 20s level, and started the World Championship semi-final against France last year.
The number 10 is excited to be making the move to the capital.
“I’m incredibly excited and grateful to be joining such a prestigious club. Saracens is full of world class players and coaches and I can’t wait to learn from them.”
