Argentina internationals Lucio Cinti and Juan Martin Gonzalez have signed new "long-term" deals with Saracens.

Both players moved to StoneX Stadium from London Irish last summer, after the Exiles filed for administration.

Winger Cinti, 24, has scored two tries in nine matches this season, while flanker Gonzalez, 23, has made 11 appearances since joining the club.

"Saracens is a fantastic club who have been so welcoming since arriving last year," Cinti said.

"I have really enjoyed my time so far and cannot wait to see what we can achieve over the coming years."

Gonzalez has has scored nine tries in 31 international caps for Argentina, while Cinti has made 24 appearances for his country.

"I am very proud and happy to stay longer in this beautiful club," Gonzalez

"The truth is that I needed stability and there is no better place to be than Saracens."

Gonzalez began his career in Buenos Aires at Jaguares before moving to London Irish in 2021.

The back row subsequently moved to Saracens, scoring six tries this season as they sit fourth in the Premiership, one point behind second-placed Harlequins.

Saracens have not specified the lengths of the contracts.

Former captain Owen Farrell will leave the club for Racing 92 in the summer, while England internationals Maro Itoje and Elliot Daly have signed new deals to stay.
