Barritt commits to Saracens

South African-born midfielder Brad Barritt will continue his career in England after signing a long-term contract extension with Saracens.

The England centre said: "Saracens is different to many professional sports clubs simply because the primary focus is on people rather than results.

“Every individual gets treated unbelievably well and, in return, every individual tries unbelievably hard. I am very happy here, I feel I am continuing to improve and develop on and off the field and it was a very easy decision to sign a long-term extension."

Mark McCall, Director of Rugby, said: "Brad is one of many players who have provided outstanding service to Saracens over the past three seasons. He is talented, skilful and courageous, and we are delighted he has committed his future to the cause."
