A powerful, hard-hitting ball carrier, Jackson Wray is another skilled graduate from the Saracens academy who has gone on to achieve success at the senior level, making over 200 appearances for the club.

Born in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, his family moved to Essex where he grew up and spent his childhood and teenage years. Jackson's time with Saracens has seen him develop from promising youngster to top class Premiership player, his performances benefiting from a spell on loan with Championship side Bedford Blues. Wray really burst on to the scene in the first half of the 2010/11 season, recording a man of the match performance in front of the TV cameras at Bath, before becoming a mainstay in Mark McCall's side from 2013/14 season onwards.

His string of outstanding performances across several seasons of success for Saracens saw him named in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Year at the end of the 2016/17 season.
