A little tour and then it’s gone. According to information from the Daily Mail this Wednesday, English international center from Stade Français Joe Marchant (27 years old, 26 caps) will (already) return to England. The former Harlequins player is set to join Saracens. Landed during the last offseason in the capital, Marchant was no longer eligible with the XV de la Rose due to his presence in France.
A strong member of his selection under the Steve Borthwick era, the English center has played, at this stage of the season, six matches with Stade Français. Without ever really convincing. If nothing official has yet been announced, he could join his compatriot Maro Itoje, who has just extended his contract with Sarries. And should come across, on the opposite path, Owen Farrell, leaving for Racing 92.
