Saracens lock Nick Isiekwe has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The 25-year-old, who can play in the second row or the back row, returned from open heart surgery last season to win the Premiership title.

He has made 133 appearances for the club since his debut at the age of 18 in 2016, and has 11 caps for England.

"This team took a chance on me at 13 years old and I am truly blessed to be able to call it my home for the future years to come," he said.

"It's a blessing to be able to do what we love, and to do it with a team that you love is amazing, so long may it continue."

Director of rugby Mark McCall added: "Nick is hugely respected by everyone at the club and his resilience and courage to return from heart surgery was truly inspiring.

"He has a deep connection to the club, having started his journey in our pathway at the age of 14. We are thrilled he has committed his future here."
