Saracens star Schalk Brits is the latest player to commit his future to the club.

The world class hooker has been a revelation for the club since moving to the Premiership in 2009.

Director of rugby Mark McCall said: “Schalk has been rightly recognised as one of the stars of the Premiership, and I don’t believe there is a club in Europe that would not like to have such a gifted and committed player in their squad. We are obviously delighted he has committed his future to Saracens.”

The Men in Black also confirmed new deals today for England prop Matt Stevens, Rhys Gill, Petrus du Plessis, Jamie George and Carlos Nieto.
