Tom Willis: Saracens sign former Wasps back row

Tom Willis made 19 Premiership appearances for Wasps last season but is now plying his trade in France

Premiership club Saracens have agreed a deal to sign former Wasps back row Tom Willis from the start of next season.

The 23-year-old joined French Top 14 side Bordeaux Begles in November after Wasps went into administration and were suspended from the top flight.

Willis, a former captain of England Under-20s, is the younger brother of Toulouse and England flanker Jack.

Sarries have not disclosed the length of his contract at the StoneX Stadium, but describe the deal as "long-term".

"He is a player that we have admired for a long time," Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall told the club website.

"We are confident that he will be a huge success here over the coming years."
