Saracens sign Samoa prop Tietie Tuimauga for 2025/26 season

Saracens have announced the signing of Samoan international prop Tietie Tuimauga for the upcoming 2025/26 Gallagher Premiership Rugby season.

The 31-year-old front-rower brings a wealth of experience from his stints in New Zealand, Ireland, and France, promising to fortify Saracens' scrum with his versatility and power.

Tuimauga, who has earned eight caps for Samoa, is adept at playing both tighthead and loosehead prop positions.

He began his professional rugby journey with Wellington in New Zealand before moving to Connacht, where he gained valuable experience in the United Rugby Championship and European Champions Cup.

His recent tenure includes two seasons with French Pro D2 side Montauban, following a spell at Brive.

"We are excited to welcome Tietie to our club. He will bring plenty of experience and know-how to our front row, and with his scrummaging ability, we believe he will be a real asset for us moving forward," said Director of Rugby Mark McCall.
