A Sevens specialist, Harris came through the London Irish Academy, making his World Series debut in 2019 before being awarded the England Mens Sevens Player of the Year title for his performances in 2020.

The 6’2, 101kg winger focus will now be shifting back to the 15-a-side game.

“I’m grateful to Saracens for the continued support over the last year since I’ve joined,” Harris told Saracens’ website. “This place really does feel like home and I wouldn’t have made the memories I have done so far anywhere else.

      “The care they’ve shown and the wisdom they’ve shared with me is invaluable. I’m beyond excited for the next few years at StoneX Stadium!”
