“I am very grateful and privileged to join Saracens. It’s a world class environment that I have hoped to experience for a long time. I am excited to learn and develop from a brilliant squad.”
Head coach, Alex Austerberry, said he’s pleased to have Jacobs at the club: “We are delighted to welcome Catha to the club. Having watched her closely during the recent Autumn Internationals and after a short trial period at the club, it was clear to see that she has great potential.
“Physical, powerful and with a strong competitive streak, Catha has illustrated her quality. We are hugely excited about the potential for growth in her game and her desire to maximize her development.”
