Injury hit Saracens sign 6'4, 127kg prop from Scarlets
By Ian Cameron
Saracens have signed Scarlets prop Alex Jeffries on a short-term loan deal. With Marco Riccioni and Alec Clarey both out with injuries, the tighthead prop will provide backup in the front row.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Scarlets from the Ospreys in 2019, has represented Wales at Under 18 and Under 20 levels, and will now compete for the number three shirt in North London alongside the likes of Vincent Koch and Sam Wainwright.
The 6'4, 127kg Jeffries says he is looking forward to his sojourn to the StoneX Stadium.
“I’m really looking forward to joining the club, It’s a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get started!”
Jeffries made his debut for Newport in the Welsh Premiership as a teenager and after impressing for the Black and Ambers, before joining the Ospreys in 2016, made 18 appearances and scored two tries in three seasons in Swansea.
He signed with Scarlets in 2019 but to date has made 5 appearances for the Welsh region.

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
