He has created and leaves an outstanding and beautiful new permanent home for Saracens, and a team of people with a real caring and community focus and we will build upon this legacy. Edward will forever be a Saracen and always welcome amongst his friends at Allianz Park."

Saracens are currently third in the Aviva Premiership table.
