Zoe Harrison signs new Saracens deal for the coming season

England fly-half Zoe Harrison has renewed her contract with Saracens for the coming Premiership Women's Rugby season. BBC Sport reported the news on Friday 13 November.

The fly-half is the player who usually runs the attack from the number 10 shirt, directing play and often kicking for goal. Premiership Women's Rugby is the top league for the women's game in England.

Harrison is 28 and has spent her entire professional career at Saracens. She has played for the club more than 100 times.

Last season she helped Saracens win the Premiership Women's Rugby title. She was also the league's leading points scorer, with points coming from tries, conversions, penalties and drop goals.

Her England career is just as busy. She has won more than 70 caps for the Red Roses, the national team, where a cap means one appearance. She started every England game at last year's World Cup, and was part of the side that won the Six Nations in the spring. That tournament is the annual contest between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.

For a player who has reached the top of both club and international rugby, staying put is a clear statement of where she wants to be. Saracens now have their leading scorer from the title-winning season tied to the club for the next campaign.

Her new deal means she will be back in Saracens colours when the new league season begins, with the chance to build on a record that already includes a title, a Six Nations win and a World Cup run.
