Marco Riccioni signs new two year deal with Saracens

Saracens have confirmed that tighthead prop Marco Riccioni has signed a two-year contract extension with the Gallagher Premiership club.

Riccioni made his debut for Saracens in 2021 and has 30 appearances to his name despite missing most of the last campaign after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.

The 25-year-old also has featured for Calvisano and Benetton previously and represented Italy in 21 Tests.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue my journey with this family," he told the club's official website.

"This environment has always put me in a place where I can express the best version of myself and I can’t wait to see what this group can do in the future.”

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall is pleased with Riccioni's decision to remain with the club.

“Marco has had an outstanding season and at 25 years old has an incredible future ahead of him.

"We are delighted that he has chosen to continue his journey with the club.”
