Saracens snap up Barritt

Brad Barritt has signed a three-year deal with Saracens but won’t join up with the squad until November, as he is due to play in the Currie Cup.

Barritt arrives from Durban Sharks and Eddie Jones, the director of Rugby at Saracens believes the club have pulled off a major coup.

“Bradley’s an exciting player and we’re delighted he’s joining Saracens. He’s a talented footballer who can control games but he also has a physical edge to his game.”
