Moving on: Richard Hill

Saracens stalwart Richard Hill is set to leave the club after 20 years as a player and coach with the London side.

Former England flanker Hill was part of the 2003 Rugby World Cup winning side and won 71 caps for his country in a stellar career.

The 39-year old has worked heavily with the club's academy since his retirement five years ago.

"After 20 years at Saracens I will be departing. It's been a great period of my life," said Hill on Twitter.

"Over many years as a player, and latterly as a coach, Richard has become synonymous with the club," said Saracens chairman Nigel Wray.

"His formal association may be drawing to a close as he embarks on the next challenge, but he will always remain a Saracens, hugely respected and admired by everybody associated with the club."

An incredible player and person, one of the most humble yet phenomenal men I have ever met. Wish Richard all the best in his future.

Ewen McKenzie and Richard Hill, both stepping down from their roles at the end of the season; mean while, Ireland look for a new coaching set up to replace Kidney's...

My spidey senses are tingling !!
