Saracens sign another Saffer
June 16 2009
Saracens continued their recent recruitment policy with the signing of South African lock Mouritz Botha, who joins ahead of the 2009/10 campaign.
The 27-year-old former Bedford player links up with the Guinness Premiership outfit and is likely to act as cover for Hugh Vyvyan and captain Steve Borthwick.
Botha has been one of the Blues' stand-out players in recent seasons and his performances also earned him a call-up to the East Midlands side for the traditional Mobbs Memorial match against the Barbarians earlier this season.
"His attitude is fantastic and Mouritz has all the attributes to make an excellent contribution next season," said Director of Rugby Brendan Venter.
