Cardiff Blues hooker joins Saracens on loan

Former Wales U20 hooker Ethan Lewis will part ways with Cardiff Blues for a while and join up with Mark McCall’s Saracens outfit where he will be on loan as injury cover in the Greene King IPA Championship.

Lewis, who has 60 caps for Blues under the belt, will remain with Saracens for the rest of the 2020-21 season.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for Ethan to head to Saracens and gain valuable game-time in a competitive environment and league,” said Blues’ director of rugby Dai Young.

“With a couple of boys returning from injury recently, there is a lot of competition for the number two jersey here and with the current situation limiting game-time for the wider squad, this opportunity presented itself and will be beneficial for all parties.

“We wish Ethan and Saracens all the best for the rest of the campaign.”
