Michael Rhodes to join Saracens

It has been announced that Stormers Flanker Michael Rhodes will be joining Saracens for the start of next season.

Rhodes will be a great addition to the Sarries squad with the 27 year-old having plenty of experience having played for the Sharks and the Stormers.

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall spoke about his delight at signing Rhodes: "We have some time ago identified Michael as a player who could make significant contribution to the squad, playing in the second row or the back row, carrying the ball and we are confident we can provide an environment where he will realise his full potential. We're delighted he will be joining us next season."
