Winger set to swap Guinness Premiership teams next season
England winger David Strettle has agreed to join Saracens from Guinness Premiership rivals Harlequins at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old is desperate to get back into the England picture, having not played for his country since 2008, and he believes a new start is needed.
After failing to agree on a new deal with Harlequins, Strettle will now make the move to Guinness Premiership rivals Saracens, and join them for the start of next season.
Sarries coach Brendan Venter is busy building for next season and he will join England internationals Richard Wigglesworth and Matt Stevens, Scotland back-rower Kelly Brown and Tonga prop Soane Tonga'uiha as new signings next season.
Venter was delighted with the signing, who he described as the missing piece in his jigsaw for next season.
"The final piece in our jigsaw for next season is a top class wing, and we are delighted to have signed David Strettle," said Venter.
"He's exactly the kind of character who will thrive in our environment, and we are confident he will become a key player for Saracens, and England."
Strettle was impressed with Venter's vision for the future at Vicarage Road, and was eager to join the club to further his own international ambitions.
"Everybody in rugby can see there is something special happening at Saracens, and I am looking forward to being part of it," Strettle told the club's website.
