Saracens bring in Gloucester hooker

Editor

Saracens have signed hooker Tom Lindsay from Premiership rivals Gloucester on a short-term deal.

Former England Saxons hooker Lindsay, 29, will provide cover in the absence of the injured Scott Spurling, who has been ruled out with a knee injury for the rest of the season.

Lindsay also has Premiership experience with Wasps and recently has been playing for London Scottish in the Championship.

Director of rugby, Mark McCall: “With Scott Spurling’s injury and having Jamie George away on international duty we’re low on hookers, so we’re very happy to bring Tom into the group. Tom is an experienced Premiership player and he’ll provide quality back up to the likes of Schalk Brits and Jared Saunders.”
