England forward Maro Itoje has been appointed Saracens' captain for the upcoming Premiership season.
Itoje, 29, takes over from Owen Farrell, who has joined Racing 92 in France after nearly 16 years with Saracens. Itoje, with 84 England caps, debuted for Saracens in 2013.
He expressed his gratitude, saying, 'I am extremely humbled and honored to be asked to captain this special club. I love this club and feel we’re in a very exciting place with our talent, energy, and direction.'
Saracens, who finished fourth in the Premiership last season, will begin their new campaign away at Gloucester on September 21.
