Mark McCall and six Saracens coaches sign new contracts

Mark McCall and six key members of the Saracens backroom staff have signed contract extensions, the club has today confirmed.

The 50-year-old joined Sarries in 2009 before taking up his current position as Director of Rugby midway through the 2010/11 campaign, leading the Men in Black to an Premiership crown in that season.

The Wolfpack have since won three English titles – the latest a thrilling victory over Exeter Chiefs on Saturday – as well as back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 2015/16 and 2016/17.

Alex Sanderson, Phil Morrow, Kevin Sorrell, Joe Shaw, Ian Peel and Dan Vickers have also agreed new deals.

Chairman Nigel Wray said: “It’s great news that they have all re-signed. They’re a team within a team; a group of friends together - they’re my friends.”
