- 3810
Saracens and England centre Alex Lozowski has been confirmed as Montpellier's latest signing ahead of the 2020/21 season.
Lozowski will join the TOP14 club on 1 July on a one-year loan deal following Saracens' relegation to the Championship.
The five test cap England International will provide Montpellier with plenty of cover in the backline with his ability to cover just about every position in the backline, expect for scrumhalf.

Lozowski was heavily linked to a move to Toulouse but Montpellier have moved in to swoop on the 27-year-old. He will spend the 2020/21 season at Montpellier before returning to Saracens.
Speaking on the arrival of the England International, Montpellier director of Rugby Philippe Saint-André said: “The Montpellier Hérault Rugby is proud to welcome Alex Lozowski to its ranks. His great versatility and high-level experience will be a real asset during the coming season which will undoubtedly experience many internationals likely to deprive the club of many of its best elements. We welcome Alex and hope to see him express his qualities on the field soon. "
