Elliot Daly

Elliot Daly is an England international and British & Irish Lions back who joined Saracens from Wasps in 2019. Renowned for his versatility, exceptional kicking range and attacking ability, he can operate at full-back, centre or on the wing, making him one of the most adaptable players in the game.

Born in Croydon, Daly began playing rugby at the age of five with Beckenham before spending three years at Dorking. He later joined Wasps’ Elite Player Development squad and progressed through the Academy, making his senior debut against Exeter Chiefs in November 2010 while still at school. He went on to make close to 200 appearances for Wasps, establishing himself as one of the Premiership’s most dangerous attacking backs.

Daly joined Saracens ahead of the 2019/20 season and quickly became an important member of the squad. He helped the club win the Premiership title in 2023, scoring a crucial try in the final against Sale Sharks. His experience and consistency have made him a key figure in the Saracens backline, while his long-range kicking continues to provide a valuable attacking weapon.

On the international stage, Daly made his England debut against Ireland in the 2016 Six Nations, going on to help his country win three Six Nations titles, including the 2016 Grand Slam. He represented England at the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, finishing runner-up in 2019 and securing third place in 2023.

Daly has also enjoyed a distinguished British & Irish Lions career, touring in 2017, 2021 and 2025. He started all three Tests against New Zealand in 2017 and featured in two Tests against South Africa in 2021. His 2025 tour of Australia was cut short by a fractured forearm sustained against Queensland Reds.

In March 2026, Daly signed a contract extension to remain at Saracens until at least the end of the 2027/28 season. His experience, rugby intelligence and ability to perform across the backline continue to make him a valuable member of the squad.
