Callum Hunter-Hill joins Saracens exodus
Callum Hunter-Hill has become the latest player to confirm their departure from Saracens this summer after five seasons in London.

The 27-year-old joined the Gallagher Premiership giants in 2019 from Edinburgh and went on to make 81 appearances.
The former Scotland U20 lock’s final season at the StoneX Stadium was hampered by a knee injury sustained in the warm-up before playing Newcastle Falcons in November. His last appearance for the three-time European champions was therefore against Leicester Tigers on November 4.
Saracens have grown familiar with saying farewell to players this season, with a significant portion of their squad moving on.
The club have equally been busy recruiting ahead of next season, where they will be looking to improve on their fourth-place finish in the Premiership and their round of 16 exit in the Investec Champions Cup.
“I’d like to thank everyone involved at the club, coaches, physios, S&C and fans alike for helping me throughout my time at Saracens,” Hunter-Hill said.
“It’s been an absolute honour to represent this club, and being part of a Premiership-winning team is something I could only dream of.

“To all the players, thank you for everything. From the minute I came to the club to now at the end it has been constant enjoyment, I’ve loved every second and now have some great friends for life.
“Thank you!”
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall added: “Callum is a brilliant player who has worked very hard for us. His appetite to learn will serve him very well moving forward and we are very appreciative of everything he has done for us.
“We wish him all the best in his next challenge.”
