\t\t\tSaracens can today confirm that Tom Willis will leave the club at the end of the season to pursue an opportunity in France.<\/p>\n

The number eight has taken the Gallagher PREM by storm since moving to the Original Club of North London in 2023.<\/p>\n

His relentless and energetic performances have seen him wear the Black and Red shirt on 43 occasions, and his form last year saw him named in the PREM Dream Team.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has also become an England regular during his time at Saracens, with eight caps to his name.<\/p>\n

Director of Rugby Mark McCall praised Willis for his effort at StoneX Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we are disappointed that Tom will not be extending his time at the club, we fully respect his decision to pursue a new challenge in France.<\/p>\n

He has made a great impact on the field and been a popular team-mate off it.<\/p>\n

I know he is determined to give everything to the group over the coming months. Everyone at Saracens thank Tom for all his efforts in a Saracens jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willis had these words for everyone at Saracens.<\/p>\n

“I’ve absolutely loved my time at Saracens and have made some friends for life.<\/p>\n

This was one of the hardest decisions of my life but it\u2019s one that feels right for me.<\/p>\n

I will continue to give everything for this club for the remainder of the season and I\u2019m very excited about what this squad can achieve.”<\/p>\n
