A British & Irish tourist in 2013, Maitland will remain in north London until at least 2022.

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: “Sean has made an outstanding contribution to our club over the last four years both on and off the field.

“He has taken his game to a new level during that time and has had a great influence on some of our younger players. To have a player of Sean's quality and experience commit his future to the club is a huge boost.”

Maitland's re-signing follows on from the announcement on Tuesday that loosehead prop Ralph Adams-Hale had committed his future to Saracens, and Manu Vunipola yesterday.

Adams-Hale, 23, played a key part in setting up Maitland for a crucial try in Saracens' Premiership final victory over Chiefs last June.

The former U20 international has signed a three-year extension.
