Saracens scrum-half Peter Stringer will leave the club next month and join Newcastle Falcons.

The experienced Ireland international has impressed during a loan spell with the Premiership champions but the return to fitness of Neil de Kock has reduced the need for him.

Director of rugby Mark McCall said: "Peter has been a brilliant addition to the squad, on and off the field, and we are sorry his three-month loan spell will come to an end after our match against Northampton on March 4th."
