Andy Onyeama-Christie

Andy Onyeama-Christie is a product of the Saracens Academy who has developed into an established first-team back-row forward and Scotland international. Known for his explosive pace, aggressive defence and high work rate, he has become a valued member of the Saracens squad since making his senior debut in 2018.

Christie progressed through the club’s Academy before making his Premiership debut in the final round of the 2018/19 season. He also featured for Saracens Storm during their successful Premiership Shield campaign in 2019, gaining valuable experience before establishing himself in the senior squad.

A spell in Wellington, New Zealand, during the summer of 2018 helped further his development, where he worked with former All Blacks number eight Rodney So’oialo. Returning to North London, Christie continued to develop his all-round game and became a regular presence in the Saracens back row, contributing to the club’s domestic and European campaigns.

On the international stage, Christie represented England at Under-18 and Under-20 level before choosing to represent Scotland at senior level. He made his Scotland debut against France in the 2022 Six Nations and went on to represent his country at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Despite facing a number of significant injuries during his career, Christie has consistently worked his way back to the pitch and continued to contribute at the highest level. His commitment and resilience were rewarded in February 2026 when he signed a new multi-year contract with Saracens.

With his physicality, athleticism and ability to operate across the back row, Christie remains an important figure for both Saracens and Scotland, bringing energy and leadership to the forward pack.
