Haughton extends Saracens deal
Richard Haughton, Saracens' winger or full-back, has put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at the north London club. The 27-year-old has been rewarded for a superb season, in which he scored 11 times.
Haughton's excellent form saw him pick up the newly named Richard Hill Saracens Player of the Season Award on Saturday night.
"I've been pleased with how things have gone this season," said Haughton, who is in his tenth year at the club.
"I put on some weight and bulked up a bit at the start of the season and that has meant I've suffered less injuries. Because of that I'm enjoying my rugby and this season the coaches have also given me the added responsibility of playing at full-back and that has been good for me.
"That's why I'm really pleased to have signed a new deal. I've been at Saracens for 10 years so this is like a second home to me. It's also an honour to be named Player of the Season as that is something that comes through delivering consistent performances over a season - something I've not done in the past.
"It's an exciting time to be at Saracens. We've shown in the past two seasons by making the semi-finals of four competitions that we can compete with the best, although there is still some work to do in terms of our consistency. We've got some new players joining the club in the summer and also a change in the coaching structure so it's a good time to be part of the club as we look to continue our development."
