Sale Sharks to sign Alex Lozowski

Sale Sharks have agreed a deal to sign experienced centre Alex Lozowski from Gallagher Prem rivals Saracens.

The versatile 32-year-old, who can also slot in at fly-half, has signed a two year deal and will link up with Alex Sanderson’s squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

A natural playmaker, Alex joined Saracens from Wasps in 2016 and has gone on to make almost 200 appearances in black and red, featuring right across the back-line.

In his time at the StoneX, Alex has been part of three Gallagher Prem and two Investec Champions Cup successes.

On the international scene, Alex was first called up by England for a tour to Argentina in June 2017 and has since made five appearances for his country. He last featured in an England squad during last season’s Six Nations.

Alex said: “I’m really excited to make the move to Sale. It’s a club I’ve always admired, I like the style of rugby the team plays, and I think I can really fit in and add something too.

“As an opposition player, Sale has always been a really tough place to go. I don’t think I’ve won too many games there so I’m looking forward to being on the home team.

“There are some fantastic players at the club. I know guys like George Ford and the Curry boys from England camps but there are so many others who I’m looking forward to meeting.

“I spent a few years with Alex at Saracens too and I know how good a coach he is. More importantly, he’s a fantastic person and he’s someone I’ve got a great friendship with.

“I think at this stage in my career I need something new to sink my teeth into. I want to enjoy my rugby, but the Sale owners, coaches, players and fans want to win trophies and that’s really important to me too.”

Sharks Director of Rugby Alex Sanderson said: “Alex has real international quality without winning as many caps as he’s deserved, he’s versatile and I believe he can bring so much quality to us in a lot of different positions.

“He can run the game from fly-half, he can bang as a 12 and he can play-make from 13 and I have no doubt he’s going to be a fantastic signing for us.

“He’s been at a club that’s won plenty of trophies so he knows what it takes to win, but he’s also a fantastic character and a leader, and that experience and those qualities will be invaluable for our younger players.”
