Saracens have confirmed the appointment of Nick Kennedy as their new head of recruitment. 
The 36-year-old had previously spent time at the club on a consultancy basis and has now signed a contract until the summer of 2022.

“I've been extremely impressed with the coaches, off-field team and players and I can't wait to be part of the team.”
Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall added: “Nick is a highly respected figure in rugby.
“He brings a wealth of experience from both playing and coaching at a high level. We feel he will make a unique contribution to the Saracens project going forward.”
