Joel Tomkins switches codes after leaving Wigan Warriors to join Premiership champions Saracens.

Joel Tomkins has made a switch in codes after completing his transfer to Premiership champions Saracens.

The 24-year-old has spent the last six years playing in the Super League for Wigan Warriors.

However, in September he hinted that a cross-code switch was nearing when he joined a sports management company associated with rugby union clients.

"I will always be a proud Wiganer, but everybody in rugby union and rugby league can see there is something very special happening at Saracens, and I can't wait to be part of it," Tomkins told the club's official website.

Tomkins' move has also seen a partnership struck between the two clubs, incorporating co-operation between the respective coaching teams and academies, player loans and a cross-code match.
