• ‘I’ve got no regrets about joining,’ says wing of move from Wasps
• England full-back George Furbank relishing Twickenham debut
Elliot Daly has become the second England player to pledge his future to Saracens, vowing to stick by the disgraced club in the Championship next season. Daly only arrived at Allianz Park in November following his World Cup exploits with England, joining a club in turmoil after their initial 35-point deduction and £5.36m fine. It was Daly’s arrival into an already star-studded squad that raised further suspicions over whether Saracens had breached the salary cap. A refusal to open their books mid-season brought about an additional 70-point penalty and condemned them to relegation.
Jamie George was the first England international to commit his future to Saracens, while Maro Itoje and Mako Vunipola have revealed they are in negotiations with the club. “My plan is probably pretty similar to Jamie,” said Daly. “I am still in contract. At the moment I am not thinking about that. It is coming but we have the rest of the season to sort it out. At the moment, I am just thinking about the next couple of games with England and then when I get back to Sarries then start talking about next year.
