Samoan international extends stay at Saracens

Prop Tietie Tuimauga has re-signed with Saracens for a second season after impressing the North London club’s coaching team.

The Samoan international, who has won 10 caps over a five-year period, joined Saracens from Top 14 Montauban, and has now earned himself a new deal.

Tuimauga, 32, made his debut for the club off the bench away at Leicester in the first Prem Rugby Cup game of the 2025/26 season, and then started for the first time at the beginning of the year against Newcastle Red Bulls in the Gallagher PREM.

Across all competitions, he made nine appearances and picked up two yellow cards.

Director of Rugby, Brendan Venter is looking forward to seeing the prop’s efforts in a Saracens shirt for the new season.

“Tietie has made a fantastic impact at the club during his first season, both on and off the pitch,” Venter said.

“We’re delighted to retain a player of his quality. With his wealth of international experience, Tietie brings invaluable knowledge to the squad, helping to develop those around him while continuing to deliver whenever called upon.

“We’re thrilled to have Tietie with us for the upcoming campaign.”

South African Corné Weilbach is the only prop that Saracens have brought in so far from outside the club.
