Overview
- Saracens have confirmed the signing of Corné Weilbach from Western Province/Stormers as a developmental tighthead for next season.
- Weilbach is 24 years old, made his senior debut in 2022, and said he is excited to join Saracens and learn within the club's environment.
- Director of rugby Mark McCall described Weilbach as a young prop with real potential and said the club can help him grow into a top-quality tighthead.
- The recruitment follows Italy international Marco Riccioni agreeing to join Perpignan and the club confirming Jermaine Ainsley will not arrive, leaving a right-side scrum gap to fill.
- The signing is part of a wider squad reshuffle that also includes arrivals such as George Martin, Tomos Williams, Alfie Barbeary and Tom James and aims to preserve depth while Saracens push for a Premiership play-off place.
