Rhodes commits to Saracens

Saracens flanker Michael Rhodes has signed a new deal to remain with the club until 2019.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Sarries, and the decision to extend my stay here really was a no-brainer. Last year was incredible, both on and off the field, as we achieved so much in such a short space of time," said Rhodes, commenting on the extension.

“I have really enjoyed playing in England and in Europe so far, and I’m looking forward to making some more memories alongside some great people.”

28-year-old Rhodes, who has made 27 appearances for Saracens, played a key role in the club’s double winning campaign and was a starter in the Premiership and European Champions Cup finals.
