England international Max Malins will leave Saracens at the end of the season to rejoin Bristol Bears.
The full-back/winger, who has 13 caps for his country is heading back to Bristol Bears where he spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan.
To date, the 25-year-old has made 56 appearances for Saracens after coming through the academy at StoneX Stadium, and was the top try-scorer in the Gallagher Premiership last season.
Malins had these words for everyone at StoneX Stadium.
“I feel privileged to have represented such a special club for many years. I’m extremely grateful for all the support I’ve received and lifelong friends I’ve made over this period. I look forward to continuing to give my all until the end of the season and hope to finish on a high.”

Bristol Bears Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Max is already one of the top players in the Gallagher Premiership and he made a huge impact during his loan spell with us at the Bears. We are all looking forward to welcoming him back into our team again.
Malins added: “I’m delighted to have signed with the Bears. During my loan period, I was made to feel very welcome by the fans, thoroughly enjoyed my rugby and made some good friends. I look forward to returning and hope to carry on where I left off.”
