The South African-born scrumhalf has been a superb acquisition for Saracens, offering experience and fighting spirit to the team. He captained the team to the semifinals of the Heineken Cup and is regarded as one of the best overseas signings Sarries has made. He gained invaluable experience with Western Province, the Stormers and the Springboks while playing in his native land, and hasn't missed a beat since joining Sarries. He is the kind of evergreen player who can always make an impact on a match.
Neil de Kock is set to make his final appearance for Saracens as they face Bristol Rugby on 29 April 2017 in the Premiership. The South African scrumhalf will run out for his 263rd appearance for Saracens.
The experienced scrum-half helped Saracens become one of the best clubs since arriving at the club in 2006 from the Stormers.
He has won 5 major trophies with the London-based club and has amassed 262 appearances over an 11 year period.
