Saracens secure signing of hooker Ethan Lewis on a two-year deal

Saracens have confirmed the signing of hooker Ethan Lewis on a two-year deal ahead of the club's return to the Gallagher Premiership.

The 27-year-old joined Saracens on mid-way last season and went on to make a solitary appearance for them as Mark McCall's men went on to win the Championship.

Prior to his move to Saracens, Lewis made 60 appearances for Cardiff Blues since his professional rugby debut in 2014 and also went on to represent Wales at the Under 18 and Under 20 levels.

“I am very happy to have signed with Saracens. Since I arrived on loan I’ve loved every second of being part of this club," he told the club's official website.

"The team, the family culture and everything about it made the decision easy for me to sign long term.”

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said he was impressed by Lewis during the loan stint with the club.

“Ethan is a hard working player who has impressed us during his brief time here so far. We are delighted he has chosen to extend his time at the club.”
