Saracens, the renowned rugby club, have recently finalized a deal to recruit Fergus Burke, a talented fly-half from the Crusaders team.

This agreement is set to take effect starting this summer, marking an exciting addition to Saracens' roster as they strengthen their squad for upcoming competitions.

The 24-year-old Fergus Burke, eligible to play for England, joins Saracens from the Crusaders, bringing with him experience as a former New Zealand Under-20 international. His arrival coincides with Owen Farrell's impending departure from Saracens as he heads to Racing 92 in France after nearly two decades with the English club.

Burke's signing comes after his pivotal role in the Crusaders' victory in the 2023 Super Rugby championship. Saracens have secured him on what they term a "long-term deal," demonstrating their commitment to his potential and growth within the team.

Mark McCall, Saracens' director of rugby, expressed enthusiasm about Burke's addition, noting his evident talent and determination to elevate his game in the Gallagher Premiership.

This move signifies Saracens' strategic efforts to strengthen their squad and remain competitive in top-tier rugby competitions.
