England wing Elliot Day signs new Saracens deal
By Josh Raisey
England wing Elliot Daly has signed a new two-year contract with Saracens, extending his stay with the club until 2026.
The 31-year-old joined the North London outfit in 2019 after almost a decade with Wasps, and helped them win the Gallagher Premiership last season, scoring a try in the final.

The five-cap British & Irish Lion is currently on duty with England, where he started on the wing in their opening two matches of the Guinness Six Nations.
Daly has joined his England teammates Jamie George and Maro Itoje in signing new deals at Saracens, although they will say goodbye to longstanding teammate Owen Farrell at the end of the current season, with the fly-half joining Racing 92 in the Top 14.
“Saracens is a special club and we have made some incredible memories over the last few years,” the 66-cap England international said.
“With the squad we have I believe there is so much to be excited about and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Daly’s Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall added: “We are thrilled that Elliot has extended his stay at the club. His influence on and off the field is growing all the time and he will be a key figure for us going forward and a huge help to our younger players who will benefit greatly from his experience and rugby IQ.
“Elliot is, on the one hand, hugely driven and competitive, always looking for ways to improve and, on the other, someone who lifts the environment and those around him with his enthusiasm, positivity and energy. We are lucky to have him.”
Saracens take on Leinster this Friday at the StoneX Stadium in a friendly fixture during the Six Nations, with their next competitive match coming against Harlequins on March 23.
