“Saracens has been my home for the last six years and I’ll always be incredibly grateful for the opportunity the club gave me coming through the academy. I’ve learned so much here, both as a player and as a person, and made memories I won’t forget on and off the pitch.
I want to thank the coaches, staff, my teammates and the supporters for all the love over the years, it’s been a huge part of my journey and something I’ll always look back on with real pride.”
Director of Rugby, Mark McCall is grateful for the 24-year-old’s efforts in North London.
“Brandon has always been a well‑liked member of the group. His journey now takes him to Newcastle Red Bulls, and we wish him every success in the next chapter of his career.”
