Julia Omokhuale and Laetitia Royer have joined Saracens on the same day their Canada team-mate Alysha Corrigan has signed a new deal with the club.

Omokhuale moves to Sarries from Leicester Tigers and scored three tries in 12 appearances in Premiership Women's Rugby last season.

The versatile 23-year-old can play in both the second and back row and has represented her country in both sevens and XVs.

"I'm thrilled to be joining Saracens at a really exciting time for the club," she told Sarries' website.

"I already know a lot of the group and the environment feels like the right fit for me. I'm excited to continue learning and developing alongside a great group of players and staff."

Royal, 34, has spent the past five years playing in France with Lons Section Paloise and ASM Romagnat.

"I've really enjoyed my time in France, but I'm thrilled to be joining Saracens and embracing a new league and way of life," Royal said.

"[I'm] excited for the new adventure in north London and to play with some new and old friends."

Winger Corrigan, 23, rejoined the club before the 2024-25 season and won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics with Canada.

"I'm delighted to re-sign for the club - I have loved my time since returning last summer and I can't wait to continue to grow and develop with this exciting squad," Corrigan said.
