Saracens have announced that Eddie Jones will step down as Director of Rugby at the end of the season.

Jones said: “After careful consideration, I have decided to leave Saracens at the end of the current season. My reasons are entirely personal. My wife and daughter have always given me unqualified support but it is now time for me to put the family needs first. I have greatly enjoyed my time with Saracens extending back to 2006 and I wish the directors, staff and players well in the future.”

He will be replaced by Brendan Venter, with effect from July 1.
