Sale sign Saracens centre Lozowski for next season

Sale Sharks have signed Saracens and England centre Alex Lozowski for next season.

The 32-year-old has agreed a two-year contract to move to Sale, after a decade with the London club.

Lozowski has won five England caps, the last of which was in 2018 but he was part of last year's Six Nations squad.

"Alex has real international quality without winning as many caps as he's deserved - he's versatile and I believe he can bring so much quality to us in a lot of different positions," Sale's director of rugby Alex Sanderson told the club website.

Lozowski has been part of Saracens' hugely successful era this century, winning three Premiership titles and two European Champions Cups.

He also spent a year on loan with Montpellier when Saracens were relegated to the Championship for salary cap breaches and helped the French club to success in the European Challenge Cup.

"I think at this stage in my career I need something new to sink my teeth into," said Lozowski.

"I want to enjoy my rugby, but the Sale owners, coaches, players and fans want to win trophies and that's really important to me too."
