Rhodes, who featured for the Barbarians, is the latest Saracens star to ink a new deal. Despite being automatically relegated to the RFU Championship the club have managed to hang on to a majority of their biggest names including Maro Itoje, Owen Farrell, Jamie George, Elliot Daly and the Vunipolas, amongst others.

The 6โ€™5, 114kg forward featured 27 times in his debut season at Sarries, helping Mark McCallโ€™s side to an historic European and domestic double.

    Jamie Cudmore talks to RugbyPass

    The following season Rhodes starred in the Men in Blackโ€™s successful Champions Cup defence and his efforts were recognised by his teammates as he was crowned Playersโ€™ Player of the Year.

    A popular figure within the squad and with supporters, the 32-year-old is just seven games away from joining the Saracens 100 Club and is looking forward to getting back out on the field after a long-term back injury.

    โ€œI feel very privileged to have added another year to my contract here,โ€ he said.

    โ€œItโ€™s a place my family and I have really come to love over the past six years. Weโ€™ve obviously had some really good seasons; Iโ€™ve made a lot of good friends and Iโ€™ve just really enjoyed the way things are at the club.

    โ€œI want to put emphasis on actually enjoying my rugby. This season has been a long one; Iโ€™ve only been able to play one game so far and hopefully I get a couple more under my belt.โ€

    Director of Rugby Mark McCall said: โ€œWe are thrilled that Rhodesy has agreed to extend his stay at the club.

    โ€œHe has played an invaluable role in our progression over the last five years and his experience and competitive spirit will be crucial for the challenge ahead.

    โ€œMike has shown great dedication to return from a serious injury and we are looking forward to see him back doing what he does best.โ€

    Reds name 10 Wallabies in starting side for teamโ€™s season-opener

    Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.

    I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: "Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back." I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That's rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver's story.

    I didn't waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn't just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.

    Relief doesn't even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn't just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn't know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.

    England explain their backing for Marcus Smith to stay on the kicks

    Iโ€™ve always been careful with my cryptocurrency, but even the most cautious investors can fall victim to cyber threats. My nightmare began when a ransomware attack locked me out of my $500,000 Bitcoin wallet. The hackers demanded payment in exchange for access, but I refused to negotiate with criminals. Desperate and running out of options, I started researching legitimate crypto recovery services, something I never thought Iโ€™d need.During my search, I came across an article about crypto recovery services that highlighted Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery as an industry leader. While I was skeptical at first, I was also desperate. Every hour that passed felt like my funds were slipping further away. Finally, I decided to take a chance and reached out to their team.From the very first call, I knew I was dealing with professionals. The team at Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery listened patiently to my situation and reassured me that I wasnโ€™t alone,ransomware attacks were becoming increasingly common, and they had successfully helped many people recover their stolen crypto. Their confidence gave me hope.Once I provided the necessary details about my wallet and the attack, their forensic specialists got to work. Unlike the hackers, who demanded money without guarantees, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery provided clear expectations, a transparent process, and constant updates. Their team used advanced blockchain analysis tools to trace the compromised transactions and locate vulnerabilities that could be exploited to regain access.The waiting period was nerve-wracking, but they delivered on every promise. Within a matter of days, I received the news I had been praying forโ€”my $500,000 had been fully restored. I could barely believe it. My funds were back, and the hackers had failed.Beyond the recovery itself, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery also educated me on preventing future attacks. They advised me on strengthening my wallet security, using cold storage, and recognizing suspicious links or downloads that could contain malware. Their insight and expertise ensured that I wouldnโ€™t be caught off guard again.What started as a moment of complete despair ended with an incredible victoryโ€”all thanks to Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you think your crypto is gone for good, donโ€™t lose hope.
